He has no issues being handled. I fed him a couple mediums a few days apart to make sure he doesnt regurge or have any other issues. Friday I will feed him an appropriate sized meal and see how he enjoys it.

If he's had two mediums in the last week he should be good for a while. Boas have a much slower metabolism than BP's do, the most my males ever have gotten is a medium rat every other week.

I think another medium before I switch to 2 weeks is in order. He still doesnt look right to me. He is lacking the square shape and still looks saggy to me. He was seriously under fed. 1 Lg maybe jumbo every 5-6 weeks doesnt seem adequate for me.

Yeah that's definitely underfed. Just don't go overboard - he didn't get into that state overnight, and it'll take some time to put the weight back on him.

Yeah these mediums are 130 on the dot so by some they are still smalls. I am starting rat breeding this week so I'll be in complete control of nutrition and size for my boys and girls..
