Boas have much slower metabolisms. It is virtually impossible to underfeed a boa. Give this snake one prey item per feeding that is no bigger around than the snake is. It should not leave a lump in the belly like you would see in your balls. And I would stick to a 10 day schedule with an animal this size. Boas are always hungry and will trick you into thinking they are starving - don't be fooled, lol. Go slow and opt for smaller prey and you'll do fine with feeding.
Oh so true! Mine all beg more than my dogs, even 2-3 days after feeding.
