Some boas don't have problems breaking the girth sized rule...bci seem to tolerate it well and Occidentalis can break the rule easily. Some bcc can do it as well. Can yours? Do you need to? Will a meal that is to small harm your boa? Is it worth the risk to find out?
If the boa has a regurge there is info on this site to help you get things back to normal. I've never had to put this info to the test. I do what I can to aviod this potentially fatal problem by not breaking the girth sized prey rule with bcc and not feeding to frequent.
