Maybe Too Small?

[bigmikeh94]

I have a female RTB that seems way to small for how old she is. I got her 11 months ago so she should be about 1 year now. I have her pictured in comparison to an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper. Shouldnt she be bigger at 1 year?

Yeah shes maybe a third the size of my female who's about 20 months. what are you feeding and how often?

[bigmikeh94]

1 small adult a week.

Adult Mouse?

[bigmikeh94]

yes it is

I have a 2 1/2 foot ball python who is on small rats. Looks like your boa could handle a medium to large rat.

Edit: I looked over the pic again, she should be on small adult rats, not medium to large. Measure her girth and find a rat or mouse that matches that measurement.

I'd feed her "hopper" rats or whatever they are called (weanlings?)

YEah I would feed some Weaned rats for a while. There's no way she could take small rats yet. Shes looks like shes less than an inch in girth. Shes very small for her age.

Young or baby boas can eat twice a week. I feed my baby boas every 5 days. Which is 3 times in 2 weeks/or fifteen days if you get techy on me.
