Doing some boa research. Would appreciate help!

This brings up another question I forgot to ask initially.
What are your recommended feeding schedules for a BCI to avoid obesity? Based on what research I've done, it seems like it can be very easy to overfeed a boa, as their metabolisms are so slow.

I feel like this varies sometimes from keeper to keeper but judging from the videos and caresheets I've read they all generally seem to agree on the following:

• Babies - mice every 7 days
• Juveniles (1 year old-ish) - small rats every 2 weeks
• 2-4 years old - medium rats every 3 weeks
• 5 years old - large rats every 4 weeks
• Seniors (7+ foot) - jumbo rats every 5-6 weeks

Please feel free to give as much feedback as possible because this is something I want to get right.

I agree with the start of that, but even as a full-grown adult, I found my girl did best on a medium rat about every 3 weeks. She was very uncomfortable when I tried
her on a large rat, so I stuck with mediums & she had a solid healthy weight, but was not fat (at 7.5'). Jumbo rats are basically retired breeders that have higher fat
content, & for that reason, I don't think they make sense to feed most boas, since their metabolism tends to be slower, but there's probably exceptions to this.
