Not sure if you would affect them with it, I highly doubt it.

However I will say missing a meal for a few extra days will NOT hurt healthy snakes.

For my feedings, I generally go a week between on young boas, however I have been known to go as long as two weeks every once in a while. I personally think its good to give them a day or two off, more natural. Also helps to clean out the system
