Hi everyone! This isy first post here. I asked these questions on the snakes Reddit but only got a few replies, so I'd figured I try this place. Bc this sit site seems more active and full of knowledgeable people.

So I've always wanted a red tail boa ever since I was 8. Seen a 7-8 footer in a pet store and ever since that it's been my "dream snake" lol. So about 3 weeks ago I finally bought one. Owners said she's a female. And is still young but don't know how old.
So my questions are

1. The owners said she was feeding on 1 weanling mouse every 14 days. The ppl at Petco and the ppl on Reddit said that was not ok for a snake her size. Said she should get a adult mouse every ten days so every ten days since then I've gave her a adult mouse. Am I doing the right thing?

2. I know it's hard to tell for sure, but based on her size how old would you estimate she is? (Just a ball park)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
