Letal liver problems are reported in boas who had been fed once per week during a certain time.

I assume that your feeding schedule on the boa is even more frequent.

With a feeding regimen like you obviously have applied on the boa you will decrease its life expectancy significantly. If you don't give her a brake for a few months now and afterwards apply a reasonable feeding schedule (1 medium sized prey item every 2 - 3 weeks) she will not life to see her 7th birthday.

And this would be a shame since it is a beautiful boa. Don't make that mistake again. Many of us made this mistake, but most of us didn't knew better. You know better now.
