    Just need to know more about boa growth

    about what size (on average) do Columbians start to bulk up (width wise) because my lil girl is about 3 1/2 to 3 2/3 feet long because i need to know this so i can plan on feeding large rats because she is going through a fairly large growth spurt right now and im feeding her more then usual (like amount not size) and i started that when she started to get alot thinner quicker (when between meals) and when should i expect the spurt to end so i can move her to a more suitable cagefor her size
    falling down an up escalator,now thats an acomplishment to brag about

    Hmmmm. That's the length of my two females and I'm about to start them on 80g rats every 10 days. I have been feeding them 55g rats every 7 days.

    You can move your boa to her permanent home anytime....

    First try what starmom suggest. If your Boa starts to get too thin, have a fecal sample done.
