Is my Amarali too skinny?

Amarali are supposed to be fed conservatively, but I always worry that my 07 male isn't getting enough food. I feed him one small (very small, like jumbo mouse sized) rat every 7 days. He's about 5 feet long.
Here are some crappy pics:

Looks healthy to me. I'd bump him up to medium rats. My 5' female is on large rats now, every 10 or so days.

He looks great to me too... good job with him! Boas are a little thinner through the body than BPs, so they always look a little anorexic next to them :D

I agree with the above poster though, you could probably bump him up a size, and maybe move the feedings to every two weeks. I feed my six foot female one medium/large rat every two weeks and she does just fine.

Hope that helps!

Is it better to serve larger meals less often, or smaller meals more often?
Thanks

I think he looks just fine, but I'm of the mind that way too many people are overfeeding and killing their boas.

well if you keep him on that weight training program (pic 1) well be just fine.lol
looks good and healthy

Looks great! He's beautiful.

I agree, bump him up to a medium rat and he'll do just fine.

I feed 1 rat that is the same girth as the snake every 10 days. Once they start eating rats that are over 120g or so, I'll switch them to a 14 day schedule....

Very nice boa! I say he looks in top shape! Nice and lean.

Here is a nice care guide one feeding, it may answer some questions you might have:

Thanks everyone! This boa is such a sweet creature. He's got a great temperament and has never given me a single problem. I got him as a tiny little noodle and he's grown slow and steady.
I highly recommend the species to someone with a little more experience (prone to regurge) who wants a small boa.

And yeah, next to my fatty ball python (who I adore above all) the boa looks soooooo skinny!
