Stunted cuban?

I'm hopefully going to be getting a 4' cuban boa from a fellow employee at the petstore I work at soon. He's had it for a few years and appearantly it hasn't grown hardly at all on a diet of one mouse per week. From my research, they seem to usually get much larger. On one occasion, he said it ate 8 mice. I'm wondering if it might be stunted from going so long on such a diet. Do you think it would start growing again if I fed it more?



Also, if anyone has any experience with this species, do you have any tips for them in particular? I've kept colombian redtails before, so I've dealt with larger snakes before.
