Good on you for taking her in. She looks nice, maybe just a tad on the fluffy side as I had said.
I’d offer her probably nothing bigger than a large rat every 3-4 weeks for now. Be careful feeding on paper towels. If they stick to the feeder and she swallows it then that’s a very expensive vet trip to have it surgically removed. A little bit of substrate here and there isn’t the end of the world but good to avoid when possible. A piece of cardboard or a paper plate or something would be a better option.
As for variety of prey items and where to find them, there are lots of options online to have frozen feeders delivered.
Cold Blooded Cafe
Big Cheese Rodent
Perfect Prey
Layne Labs
Reptilinks
Etc.
My thawing method is to put the rodent(s) in a heavy freezer bag and place them in a bucket of cool water until they’re thawed. Then replace the water with the hottest that will come out of the tap and put the bag back in that for a little bit. Everyone does things a little differently but that’s what works for me.
One of the best things I can recommend for boa keepers is to buy and read The More Complete Boa Constrictor by Vincent Russo. It’s the boa bible and is an invaluable resource to have on hand.
