She's an adoption so I'm not sure of the *exact* age, but she's a hair over 7' now and between 2-3 years old, and feeding every 2 weeks. I've had her for a little over a year now and she's put on about a foot in length.
This is actually the first I've heard of boas staying on large rats their entire life, I was anticipating sizing out of them, if only barely so. It's at least easier on my wallet this way!
