    Help me identify
    http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...1910ea9482.jpg
    I just picked this little girl up today. I have my ambient temperature at 84-85 and hot spot at 92-93. I have the basic care down the only thing I am confussed about is how often should I feed her. I am unsure on the birth date but I know it is this year at least. Any tips anyone can give me that would be great.

    Looks like a motley BCI. Small boas like her will need to eat once every 7-10 days. Feed a mouse that does not leave a lump in the widest part. My little hypo that is close to 2' long (and under 1 year) is getting a small mouse every week and seems to be doing fine.

    I have ball pythons as well, does the 10-15% their body weight rule work for boas too?

    Looks like a Motley BCI to me, as well.

    Boas can be voracious! As the above poster said, feed an appropriate sized item - not sure about the 10-15% rule. They aren't round snakes - they won't get fat like your BPs, so don't stuff them trying to get them there! :) They should stay a nice plump square shape - if you keep to the above schedule, she will flourish with you.

    Thank you both for the advice, I want to double check on one more thing. I have my humidity at 60-70% is it to high?
