Can I feed my RTB after 5 days?

Boas should be fed on a 7-10day schedule when young. Unlike a bp, boas do better on less meals. Once a sub-adult, you should feed it every 14 days. They build better muscle mass and less fat if you don't over feed them. I meant to also add that you might want to try to up the size of the prey.

Exactly. Boas should NOT be on a 5 day feeding schedule. They digest their meals much slower than pythons and need the time to process their food. They also tend to get overweight if fed more frequently. Boas should be grown slowly. They will be healthier that way. It is important to remember that boas are not ball pythons and they should not be treated that way. Just because this is what you'd do for your baby BP, does not mean it's right for a baby boa.

Baby boas always act hungry - that is part of their nature. But they will be happier and healthier in the long run if fed no more than every 7 days. If anyone is currently feeding every 5 days, I ask you to please consider moving to a 7 day schedule - your baby will thank you.
