4-5 is generally considered too freqent to be feeding at any age. Especially if it's only 4...



Go ahead and make that switch to 7 days. It will be much better for your boa. Try to find a time during the week that you will be able to feed on a regular basis. Just make it a habit of feeding your boa every week at this same time, unless something out of the ordinary is happening like shedding or a recent regurge. Remember to let your boa chill out for a few days after you feed it before handling it again.
