Ummmm.... wrong on both.

Even my corn snakes look like a beer bottle after I feed them. That's how they feed. They are snakes, not people. If my corns look like a beer bottle, and they are nowhere near as flexible as boids, what makes you think that giving a BP something 1.5 times his own girth is going to harm it in any way? You should see my male BCI take down a 1 lb rabbit. He looks like a 2L coke bottle. And ya know what? He's totally content, extremely healthy and shiny, and growing like a weed. In fact, he's grown a foot in the last 6 months. So, no, you won't have a dead ball. You will have a healthy, happy ball if someone can look at it from 10 feet away and say "Wow! He's full!"
