Give him a full two weeks off. After two weeks, feed him ONE small mouse, maybe even a hopper. At four months old, two adult mice is too much food. Never give a baby a meal that is larger than the boa is at his/her largest girth. Also, it is always better to feed one appropriately sized meal. Especially as babies, boas don't need two prey items at once. They may be able to handle two items, but their bodies will only absorb so much. The extra will just be passed anyway, so it is basically a waste.

So give him some time off and try again. Good luck.
