Is she average?

Like everybody else said, feed her more! ;)

Each meal should leave a noticable lump. At 3 feet she should be able to take a small rat every week.

Of course, every snake grows differently but that does seem a bit off. Have you personally had her for 2.5 years, or were you told she was that old?

Good point didn't think of that one. :gj::gj:

She's gorgeous!!! I love the big eyes. That's one looker you got there! :gj:

Yes, she does seem to be small for her age. Maybe there's a genetic factor coupled with the slow feeding routine that has caused her to be smaller than average. I strongly believe that a slow feeding schedule is a healthy feeding schedule for snakes. She could afford to gain a bit, but she's not underweight and she looks perfectly healthy. I'd say maybe bump up the feeder size a notch, but you've got a beautiful, healthy snake; there's not much to worry about. :)

I have a yearling(shes about 18 months now) that is almost 5 feet long. Baby boas should eat at least every 5 days. Juvies once a week.

Your boa is small, but correct her feeding and she's fine!

I like the tree you have set up for her!
