Stop obsessing over how much and how often you can feed your Boa. Instead observe your snake and learn to see when it is actually wanting more food and when it needs to be fed. Find reasons to skip a feeding, instead of continually planning the next feeding. The minimum to sustain health and modest growth is the goal. Raising Boa is not like raising the blue ribbon pig for high-school 4H, there are other things to learn about Boa kept in stable environments other than how much and how often it will feed.

A lot of keepers are feeding their Boas way too much, even breeders. My opinion on this is worth investigating, if even only from the standpoint of economy. If you can have healthy Boa, giving good births and save maybe 40% of your feed bill, why not try?

This opinion is not aimed at you specifically! But you're asking about it and these are my real thoughts on the subject.
