you really shouldn't power feed your boa...i have to wonder what your temp and humidity is...be carefull you don't cook your snake...don't leave the cage by a window that sun can get to the cage...but boas need heat just not too hot......they really are kind of easy...but don't feed  it all the time..you'll get a big but unhealthy reptile...do you have a rock or something for the snake to rub on while it sheds? don't pick it up for a couple days after it eats..does the cage have a water dish??if the humidity is low it will need to soak in water to shead right.and what is your substraight?  make sure its not something thjat the snake can take in while it eats....good luck...billy
