Boas <> Ball Pythons, the boa metabolism is slower. My boas get a feeder that is no bigger around than they are. Once they're eating small rats they get fed every 7-10 days depending on their body condition, if I plan on pairing them, how much "hunting" behavior I observe, etc. If they're big enough for mediums the interval goes to 7-14 days.
