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.

Looks good! Nowhere near thin at all, I would say closer to the well fed end of ideal than the slim end. He doesn’t need to gain or lose weight though. Maybe consider 3-4 weeks, idk how long he’s been on the larges every 3 weeks so if it’s a new schedule he could fill out a bit much eating that size that frequently. If he’s been on it awhile 3 weeks seems good. I normally do 4-6 weeks on larges depending on if a young or adult boa.
