At the beginning I really wanted him BIG. I never power fed, but I think his first year was a fairly abundant food year.

I'll feed him a healthy amount this summer, but come fall/winter he'll be off food with a nice temp drop again.

I have been following the Gus Rentfro feeding style. Vin Russo and Eugene Basset also advocate this type of feeding.

7' isn't quite here for him. I'd expect IF he hits that length, it will be about the maximum he'll reach.

Yeah all my snakes are on the eternal summer. The funny part is how i keep them on an eternal summer and you fast but your male is about 6" bigger and maybe heavier. Rosey is about 6.5' and 13.7 lbs. And they are both about the same age as we got them at around the same time i believe.

I just feed less in the winter and more in the summer. And yeah, Rosey was fed fairly healthy the first year when she was a baby as she was my first boa lol. That's kind of why I'm surprised she is actually smaller than your male.

Well Vin and Eugene Basset seem to think they grow more when not eating. That is actually written in

THE COMPLETE BOA CONSTRICTOR

I think energy used to digest and process food transfers to growth in the winter. At least that was their message.

There a lot of methods and your snakes all seem healthy and look good.

Sniper is super food driven now since he's been fed more frequently this summer.
