I had my boy out last night, and I couldn't help but think that he just looks fat for a boa. Now he only goes to the bathroom maybe once a month (it's SO gross when he finally does...) and I notice he does get a little less "round" after he goes. I am still concerned though, as I have heard boas can be prone to overweight issues since they are pretty much garbage disposals. He is on weaned rats, and is on a 7 day feeding schedule. Occasionally I'll feed him a mouse snack as well, since I have two other rats I have to thaw out to scent, and he'll gladly take the leftover.

Sorry for the horrible pictures, I used my camera phone and it was taken last night.



I'm only concerned because most boas I see have the very nice defined rectangle shape...and he is a little round

Also, ignore the spots on his nose...it is dried blood from obliterating a f/t rat....
