Both are bad I think we will all agree, but feeding specifically to reduce size IMO often borders on underfeeding. I don't feed for any particular size, I feed for the health of my snake.
Agree.. And this is usually obvious by the shape and condition of the body. You dont ever want to see a protruding spine, folds in the skin, inibility to shed etc.. Keep in mine most of these big boas should have more of a rectangular or square shape to their body as opposed to round like BPs. More muscular than alot of other snakes.
