Question is it unhealthy???

iv got a het albino boa who is 20 months old and just about 6 foot long and very thick. she eats one rat every week and has the odd leftover from my royals. should i stop feeding her weekly due to her size or is it ok/normal??? i dunno how to get pics on msgs but i have a couple of her on my album on profile

No large snake should be fed every week. i would feed every 3 weeks at 20 months old

I would start by cutting down to every 14 days for a while before changing to between 14-21 days but varying it a little
