Well right now she's eating what I would consider rat fuzzies. I hate switching snakes from one prey item to another it's a chore that doesn't always work. At least with ball pythons... she seems a little thin to me, but I'm used to ball pythons so I guess that's kinda coloring my judgement. But not gonna over feed her. There's a ball python at one of the local shops that's super fat, it's sad. It's owner way over fed itOriginally Posted by CloudtheBoa
Also meant to say 48 hours apparently my brain thinks 24+24=24.
She's definitely tiny, but aside from the feeder bulge she appears in good body tone so wouldn't worry too much. Some babies are born tinier, as long as you're feeding her mouse fuzzies or hoppers, or rat pinks of the same size (and not the giants I seem to get lol) she should be good on prey size.
Definitely do your research, I've been told boas are very difficult to breed (my earliest breeding venture won't be until next fall at the earliest if all works out, or fall 2019 if it doesn't), and the babies may be difficult to sell depending on what male you pair to her and if she's het for something. They can have 20-30 babies, I've heard of them as large as 50-60 and as small as under 10, and you should be willing and able to keep most or all babies if you do have trouble selling them. You've got 4-6 years to think about it though, and you'll enjoy her care along the way, I know I enjoy all of mine.
