    I agree. She is feeding it way too often. She should be feeding it every 10-14 days. Baby Boas have very sensitive digestive systems and for about the first 8-9 months both prey size and feeding frequency is very important. I would suggest a 10 day feeding schedule. She should weigh her snake on the first of each month, and use that weight to determine the prey size for the month and feed prey about 10%-12% of the snakes weight. So if the snakes current weight is 100 grams then she should be feeding 10-12 gram prey items. Once the snake is about 8 months or so, she can start feeding prey in the 10%-15% range or about the same or slightly larger than the girth of the snake.
