    Yeah, feeding an adult boa every week- I'd call that power-feeding too. I've heard of ppl who power-feed to get young snakes to breeding size sooner (which is a lousy idea), or maybe the females they're breeding, but never heard of anyone feeding a 10 y/o male boa every week? Maybe that was their idea of a "snake pacifier", so they could change the water bowl while he was "busy"?
