Kevin, thanks so much for those links and I intend to go over them very soon. Someone else on this forum has mentioned this researcher also...hmm...maybe it was Marcus??
Anyway, thanks for the input and your observations of healthy boas. While mine are all females, I have no intention of ever breeding them and so my focus is solely on the health and longevity of my snakes :)
Again, thanks. I'll post my boas' weight/length ratios in the next few days and we'll see how they compare.
