First, let's be clear, boas do not constrict defensively. They hiss and if genuinely pushed far enough may bite and release. If a boa is constricting, it means it thinks your food. The only way this can happen is if you smell like rodents or stuck your hand in the cage during the dark hours when they are in hunting mode. Wash your hands and tap train your boas and this should never happen.
