I have several boas and I agree with the above mentioned as well. 2 weeks is a good feeding schedule for a boa. My BCI female is about 1 year and 3 months old and 3 1/2 feet , 940 grams. she eats a small rat every 2 weeks. Im sure your little guy will calm down with some handling and a healthy diet! Till then .... have a snake hook handy! lol.
