You should have been feeding the boa every 7 days right from the start.....

There is never any reason to feed a boa every 4-5 days. A boas feeding habit would have it expell its meal (go poop) before going to look for it's next. So every 7 days would be fine from the get go. I feed my males every 7-10 from birth and every 14 day after 2 years old. The only reason the female stay on a 7 day feeding schedule is because they go so long with out food during the breeding season.
I hope this helps
