So i could actually raise the temp after feeding to speed up their rate. This will probably help them grow quicker are well right?

92 is the hottest I personally would go on the HOT side. 75 on the cool side is fine. They will thermoregulate as needed so no need to bump up the temps at any time. Boas are naturally fast growing. Keeping them on a decent feeding schedule and the temps in the right range and you will have a nice, well preportioned boa that grows at a safe rate.

No need to have anything grow "quicker". Snakes should just grow as they are meant to in their own time dependent on their genetics for growth, a nice steady appropriate feeding schedule and proper husbandry.

Thanks for the notes on the temperature thing...my reason for asking is Carmen seems to favor being cooler rather than warmer and it seems to take her longer (longer than Cleo, who is of course a completely different species =P) to digest a meal.
My problem child teaches me patience yet again. :rolleyes: :P

No problem Cassandra!! BCC tend to grow slower than a BCI the first year or so.
