what are you currently feeding her on, what did the breeder do wrong?
and no, there is no need for calcium, they get it from the bones of the animals they eat

this boa is a year and 2 months old but is stunted because its previous owners for a year fed it on 1 fuzzy a week and it was a slow starter feeding wise anyway so its as small as some hatchling boas!

snakes of any kind will get calcium from most prey they you feed them on...
it is not unusual for a boa of that age to be that size.. although it depends if it a pure bcc or a mix with a smaller species... i wouldn't worry too much
