what size mice did it come with, can you post a pic of the snake by a coke can or something so we can see the size of the snake.

agreed.

Personally with boas I only feed prey that is slighty larger than the mid body girth. Boas are much healthier slow grown IMO.

I agree that this is true with most any snake.

Breeders will sometimes "power feed" so they can get babies quicker, I don't think that is in the animals best interest.
