A male boa can be fed less often, once every 10 days or so, Where I normally feed my females once every 7 days. I would go with 1 extra large rat per feeding period and as he or she gets larger increase the feeing prey item according to size,
Good Luck

I am not an expert but a once every 2 to 3 week feeding is enough. Unless you plan on breeding your female and you're trying to put weight on her. I've heard that a once a week feeding on a adult boa can shorten its life.
