In your first post it says that you fed him three adult mice a week for four months. Just by looking at the size of that boas head and the picture of him after he ate, in my opinion three adult mice a week would be power feeding. Even if he digesting them quickly. From what I have read boas will actually eat themselves to death. One, maybe two adult mice every 10 days would be plenty in my opinion. Very beautiful boa though.
