If your boa is starting to look chunky, back off the food. If its constantly hunting for food, then maybe feed it a bigger meal.

Also some people will quit feeding them in the winter to mimic the wild. That works fine too but me personally I just feed them the same but might extend out the feeding a little in the winter but generally the same.
ok thank you I will do exactly that and as for the winter time feedings I don't think I would feel right not feeding him through the winter time so I might just expand his feedings too. now with the size off food....correct me if Im wrong but I want to look for something that is the same size as the widest part of him, right? trying to make sure iv got this down pat cuz I don't want to over/under feed him/her. I want to make sure that it has proper care ...... hot spot 90 warm side 85 cool side 75? humidity 50-70% 75% in shed? like I said iv don't countless hours of research from all different kinds of sites/videos so hopefully it wasn't all for nothing...thank you
