>>She looks good. Her weight actually looks good to me. Prey should be the same size as her thickest point or smaller. I do not give my Boas a water bowl large enought to soak in. Some do, I don't. As far as humidity, 60% is good. 95 on the hot spot is ok as long as the cool end is 80 - 84 I tend to keep my hot spot closer to 90, but some keep it hotter. Many different opinions around here!

Thanks for the info. I am working from a primarily colubrid, children's python, candoia experience for snakes. Though I do have a 5 yr old SST.
The boa looks better after just one meal. She had skin folds that made me nervous when I first saw her. But maybe the owner fed every two weeks and I like to feed babies every week. Will that work with a boa?
She is laying on the hot end right now and I think it isn't too too warm for her but I will watch and recheck temps and humidity.
