Answer
Shedding is under hormonal control in snakes. If the snake is sick (some kind of internal problem) the inability to shed can be a symptom.  Assuming your cage is in condition (temp/humidity) are correct (and boas are a little bit more picky about those than say a corn snake) then I would say you should take the snake to the vet and have it checked out.
