Seriously, I never see her out and about unless she's going potty, and then she's right back under her hide when she's done.

So, she was put on a diet and I make sure to take her out for 15-20 minutes a day every day the week prior to her feeding day to simulate "hunting" before she eats.

The OP's burm is not fat by any stretch. I would just feed it and leave it alone as much as possible for the next few weeks.
OK,

Now I remember, and I'm glad things worked out there with your boa. She was/is a pretty little thing.

Yes,, this snake is very thin however I'm not sure what's going on in the back end.
