    They def look healthy. You can stick them on a maintenance diet to gain their shape back. If you look at Olivia above, she is very square with rounded edges. They are on the 8 day schedule cause they are on the small side of the scale IMO. Everstar is right with the Med size as that would be their "maintenance diet"....

    2 well taken care of boas here :) Thanks for watching out...

    That baby is a well-proportioned boa and thank you for posting the picture. Makes me feel a lot better. They are also obviously young and that makes me feel better too about the frequency of their meals.

    I based my response off what you said here ^^. The OP posted that his boas are almost 3 years old and 5 years old and his are also MUCH larger and more mature than yours. Saying yours are younger but "not by much" indicates to us without the benefit of pictures that they are nearly the same age. You also recommend that the OP go to a 7-10 day schedule. This was what concerned me the most. No almost 3 year old boa (the OP's) should be eating every 7 days. So that was why I posted what I did. If you have further questions about this, I am happy to help you. ;)

    No worries, I have been out of snakes for 10 years. Age still throws me off a little. .
