I don't know? Learn your lesson and not buy such big food?
If it can't swallow it, it will spit it out.

Snakes usually won't eat a meal that's too big.

Like Korbin said increase your heat a little, this will help your snake digest its meal. But how big was the meal item in comparison to your snake?

how do you know it was too big? what happened to make you concerned? not providing any info, is not really going to get you a useful answer.

but, as already said, if the meal is too big, it usually wont be swallowed

If your Boa ate it, it isn't to big, Although you should stay in the 1 to 1.25 x the largest diameter of the Boa. Or use the weight method or 13%-15% of the animals weight each meal. As others have stated, bump up your heat a bit, about 5deg for 48 hours.
