2018 Male Rio Bravo Pokigron Suriname Red Tailed Boa Constrictor Progression

[WrongPython]

Looking good, jmcrook! He's got nice pinks developing in his sides and he's holding on to that bright red tail well. I shall continue to live my Suriname boa dreams vicariously through you.

Unfortunately, your post and a recent feeding video my friend Bryan sent me has me wanting "one last snake".

It isn't in the foreseeable future but I'm plenty fine looking at this one and dreaming.

Haha, you and me both my friend! Minus the video from a friend named Bryan

Seriously - snake #3 is only (tentatively) due to arrive next week and I've set some pretty good ground rules re: housing before expansion, yet I'm already imagining what snake #4 could be. There's so many nice snakes on this forum that are tempting me to pick up new species!

Thanks so much for the kind and generous comments, y’all! I haven’t weighed him since September which was ~650grams. Probably still <1000grams, but I’m a terrible judge of weight and could be wildly off in my judgments. He was also fasted from 11/1/2020-1/4/2021. All animals here slowed down in activity and shed frequency during that time. Some are only now entering their first shed since.

He’s currently eating small rats every ~2 weeks give or take which leave zero visible evidence of having been fed. I’ll probably order mediums with my next feeder stock up and see what they look like relative to his girth. If he takes a medium and it looks like a huge meal I probably won’t feed him for a month and then back off to smalls for a bit. Time will tell. I’m pretty well beyond the worries of regurge with a sensible feeding at this point

No rush for larger size/breedability and what not to contextualize with my comments in another somewhat contested thread on feeding for breeder growth here...

But if the animals grow at a healthy rate and show signs of being in good health I’ll happily let them do so.

Feast and famine according to their natural histories and individual body conditions.
