And my girlfriend purchased a red tail boa

Adult boas only need to eat once every 3-4 weeks anyway because they have slow metabolisms.

Like BCR said, adult boas dont need to eat that often. I feed my big girls every 3-4 weeks or 5 weeks if its a rabbit. I do sometimes feed them sooner in the summer months and a little longer in the winter months but i dont do the whole winter cooldown fast thing.

And 3 of my guys are in shed now. Pat, Vicky and Gina are all going into blue. Kind of quiet only see 6/9 snakes wrecking havoc at night lol. I'm so used to seeing Pat out front trying to caudal lure me in so he can eat me. He's been camping under the heater. And same with Vicky, she has been living on her heater and Gina too.

Thanks everyone on the feeding advice.

I came home yesterday and my girlfriend had Lucy around her neck. They had been sitting on the couch and cleaning house for about 5 hours she said. I am surprised Lucy was not stressed out but she seamed ok even after 5 hours of handling. My GF said that she was still for about 30 min before I came home and then saw me and wanted me. I produce more heat than my GF. I put her away shortly after my Great Dane walked up and licked her. So surprised by it happening and Lucy just froze a moment. I felt she needed some alone time and I was right. She went right into her hide and just laid there with her head sticking out. Such a good girl. Then was time to clean up after my Ball pythons. Pooping and shedding, got to love those guys.

Glad you got her and as others have said. She doesn't look under fee at all. Always do a proper quarantine for new snakes, and I myself always treat for mites regardless of them being present or not. I've also never had a mite issues because of this.

Any clue on her genetics or age? She is 5 feet+ but no clue outside of that?
