my new Red tail

I didn't even look at the photo you posted when I was talking about feeding. The boa in the photo IS nice, but in regards to your baby on the 5-day schedule, the facts are still the facts. Feed once every 7 days - no more. If you feed every 5 days, you are asking for trouble. Boas do not handle that well - they are not baby ball pythons. You will risk a regurge or other issues and once a boa starts regurging, it is extremely difficult to get them to stop. Please listen to those of us who've had experience with this.

Ty for the info I will switch back to the 7 day feeding schedule

You won't regret it. Your baby will do just fine and he'll gain some weight on him in no time. :gj:

Now I know nic boas are a smaller species then red tails but is it normal for them to be real small when they are young? I mean my nic boa and my female red tail are about the same age if the people I got them from were accurate in the ages they told me, but my redtail had only eaten once with me and is a lot larger the. The nic. Granted the redtail is female and the nic is male but it's a huge difference.

As an update I contacted the girl I bought my redtail from and the redtail is actually 6 1/2 months old which makes a lot of sense and now I'm not so worried about my nic's size

Yeah the red tail would be bigger even at the same age partly because its a true red tail and partly because its a female. But since you found out she's older, then that makes even more sense. Any updated pics of your nic boy? :gj:

I'll take some here shortly either tonight or in the morning and get them on here for u star :)
