That's correct. I think the caresheet is geared for baby boas. Most folks tend to get boas in particular as babies. Feeding young ones once a week to every 10 days is appropriate. But adult boas are usually fed once every 2 weeks.

It is more common with BCCs and Dumerils to wait until they poo. Dumerils seem to have even slower metabolisms (ambush preditors that are more sedentary) and BCCs are more sensitive.

No. Boas are not balls and therefore they should not be fed like them. What you are doing sounds just right. The prey should leave a barely noticable lump or even no lumpl With boas, always err on the smaller side.

Seems like you are doing just fine with your girl! Pictures??
