Re: New Hypo Boa Imperator
Very nice boa! It sounds like you've got everything dialed in on the temps. He doesn't look chunky to me but I'd still go with a 10-14 day feeding schedule. Congrats on the beautiful new addition! Keep the pictures comin!

Re: New Hypo Boa Imperator
Thank you all for the nice comments! I’ll definitely keep updating on this beautiful boy.
Thank you El-Ziggy for the advice! I’m glad to hear he’s not chunky, but I’ll take your advice and move him to 10 days for feeding.

Looks like you picked a very nice boa, both for appearance and personality. Doesn't look chunky to me either, but glad you're aware of that issue.

Re: New Hypo Boa Imperator
Thank you! I really love how clean his pattern is and how brilliant his colors are. His personality is what really makes him special though. And I’m glad that he doesn’t look chunky, I really want to make sure I feed him appropriately so he’s around for a long, long time.

Congrats! Imo, boa constrictors are the best species to keep.
Yes, I feed 10-14 days on boas from birth. They just seem to hold a much better body tone, and still grow quite well.
He may just look chunky to you because he's holding so much poop in his tail. Boas really hold in the poo and let loose. He looks a good weight in pictures.

Re: New Hypo Boa Imperator
Thank you! I’m probably biased, but I’m in total agreement
And that makes sense! I hadn’t thought of him looking chunky was due to him holding in poop. He’s only pooped once for me since I got him and that was a few weeks ago. I’m glad he looks to be a healthy weight
