Dub... younger..smaller more active snakes need to be fed one appropriately sized prey items once a week.. larger snakes need to be fed once ever 10-14 days. You will find that people vary in their preferences... but I feed a food item that is the exact same size as the largest part of my snake. That being said... is your snake the same size as a MOUSE? If not... then you need to adjust your prey size... do not powerfeed... this will drastically cut your snakes life span... I read LOTS and I own boas. Let me know if there is anything we can do for you.
