I wouldn't worry about boas. They are garbage cans lol. I've never had a problem switching mine from mice to rats and prekilled to F/T. Even my BP went from mice to rats prekilled to F/T with no problems. Even the jungle carpet who would only eat live white mice at night for the gal who had her before ate F/T any color mice in the day for me 2 days after I had her. And the little 2 month old Dumerils gal eats like a beast on F/T hopper mice. I might just be lucky or be the "snake whisperer" lol but I wouldn't worry about boas.
As for rat pinks, those are going to be too small for her. I wouldn't do anything smaller than a hopper mouse. Try one and see what the lump looks like. As mentioned, it should be noticeable but not glaringly noticeable if that makes sense. You want to know it ate a meal but not look like it ate a football and needs to be rolled like a wheel into its hide lol.
And the reason I say I don't like rat pinks or fuzzies is because to me, they just seem like a milk bag lol. They aren't going to be as developed with bones and organs as a hopper or small adult mouse. I see as the same reason you don't feed guinea pigs to boas since they have a lot of fat but they are fine for pythons.
