What is a proper feeding schedule for boas?

I have ran across others discussing this topic and was curious to what everyone's opinions were on a proper feeding schedule?

My recommendations are assuming we are all feeding a suitable sized prey item at each feeding. I myself am actually in the process of changing my feeding schedules, which is why I am so curious to what others have to say. My current opinion for a proper feeding schedule depending on size/age is listed below.


0-3 months, feed every 10-14 days.

3-6 months, feed every 14 days.

6 months-2/3 years, feed every 21 days.

3 years +, feed every 30 days.

Personally, right now I am feeding my 0-1 year boas every 14 days. My sub-adults are fed every 21 days and my adults are fed once a month.

Power feeding is when an animal is basically fed as much as they will eat, constantly, in a way that forces the animal to grow at a rapid rate. This method decreases quality of health, will cost more money, requires more food to be on hand and in the end prematurely kills the animal.
