As for the behaviour of the boa, I have no idea. I don't know nuthin about no boas, honest Mr. Hardy.

Try Moreliaman mate, he is in the UK so he is close by. Even if you are both at opposite ends of the joint you are still close by.

He could be 5-600 kilometres away so not really that close by :-)

Sounds to me like he could be scared of something, maybe something you have done accidently, maybe enviromental noise/vibrations, such as load music, small child banging on glass doors etc.
Could be a predator ie. Cat or dog coming upto the glass.
I wouldn't be too concerned, I would give it a few days without distubing it(Peace and quiet), and try feeding again.
Just be mindful of your enviroment, in case it is something that is perminantly stressing the snake out.
Good luck.
All the best.
Neil
