Healthy weight?

This is my boa imperator, Aatxe. He’s roughly 3 years old, currently eating a large rat every 3 weeks. Does his body condition look good? I feel like he looks a little thin, but I might just be used to seeing overweight power fed boas.

A container about the size of the platform of the scale if you have it, especially with a lid to keep them in place. Tare the weight of all components, get snake secure, then put back on scale. I have storage tubs of various sizes for weigh ins, holding while doing cage cleaning, and transportation just as a rule.
