feeding emerald tree boas

i was reading this website about emeralds http://www.kingsnake.com/emeralds/
and in the feeding information its saying how to not feed them too much or they get sick. both of my emeralds are close to 3 years old and eat pretty well. the male is 5 feet and takes small rats (only 1 per feeding) the female is 4 feet and eats 4 mice at a time. her previous owner told me she usually eats rats but sometimes will only eat mice and thats all she'll eat for me. but either way i feed them usually every 10 days to 2 weeks. this website is saying thats good except to feed males even less than that. 3-4 weeks apart.
was just curious how often every one here feeds their emeralds and if theyv had any regurge problems like the website said can happen.

At work we usually feed our adult female when she defecates. Pretty much the same with the younger male. This usually takes about 2-3 weeks.

My male I feed a small rat every 3 weeks but my female I just got this weekend and plan on feeding her every 2 weeks.
