If the dosage was 40 mg/kg of Fortaz, then this was an overdose, but if the total dosage was 40 mg, then this snake was under dosed by a considerable amount. The proper total dosage for a boa of this weight would be 150 mg given every 48 to 72 hours for 5 or 6 times. You didn’t say how long you waited between doses, but if it was much less than 48 hours, that could cause problems even with the proper amount. With Fortaz, the frequency of injections is probably more critical than the dosage in milligrams, as long as it isn't too out of line.
