    Re: Is it time for bigger food

    Anything could be likely, some snakes do sometimes go through periods where their feeding response skyrockets. He definitely doesn't look underfed.

    I have heard of instances where people put boas on a diet after being overfed and they turned kinda nasty and had an increase in feeding response. It can take several months but they can return to normal later on. Not everybody updates on their snakes once they put them on a diet but the ones that have generally say they had calmed down after awhile. Again, it could take some months but it's best for his health. Whether you try bumping him up to mediums or not is up to you but I stand by my opinion there's no need at his current size.
