Boa health

Hey everyone. My juvenile boa is loosing some weight, enough to see her spine when she moves across my hands and fingers. I can feel it pretty well too. She eats like a champ though, and her husbandry is correct. Any ideas?

Not enough info.

Weight of snake?

Feeding schedule?

Weight of rodent?

She weighs 290 grams, feeding her once every seven days, and a small rat. When she eats it leaves a small bulge. But I know she’s lost weight because her skin has become loose and her spine shows when I hold her. I can’t tell if she’s sick or not. There’s no mites, and her husbandry is right. ��
