    Regular?

    My girl is a 6' long, 4 year old. She goes to the bathroom every week, give or take a few days. Is this regular?
    I have humidity gauge and temp gun and check daily that everything is right. She always has water and gets fed a medium/large rat(depending on size) every 10-14 days. She is always fed f/t. She is hydrated.
    I may just be overly concerned, but I'm used to my other snakes digestion patterns.

    Yes yours seems fine. I think boas are easier to deal with than bp's in my opinion. I'm starting to like them more. One boa turned into two in less than six months.

    Well, sounds good to me.

    You could up size prey and feed every 21-30 days and you'd see a longer break between elimination.

    4 years old is plenty mature so if you decide to upsize to smaller rabbits or larger quail you may see a longer processing time.

    But in all reality you have a very regular, healthy boa from what I can tell.
