A Jumbo Rat is WAY TOO BIG for that animal, or any other 4-5' boa, unless it's a mature adult Bolivian Amarilli, which tend to get quite girthy and could have the girth of an 8' boa at about 5'.
The medium rat worked because that's what he should be eating.
Doing the right thing in the beginning can avoid many problems, as i'm sure you understand by now.
Next time, let's say you're snowed in for weeks and can't get the right sized prey items, give him 10-20 Pinky's before you try giving him a Jumbo again, otherwise you're only going to hurt him again.
Best wishes...
Joe
