Very pretty little boa! I feed my red tail boas one appropriately sized rodent once a week, and they are growing very well. I am fairly new to boas myself, but I was told by a boa breeder that weekly feeding is ideal for healthy growth, and that feeding them more often than that can really shorten their life span. The nice thing about red tail boas is that they should take frozen / thawed food really young and are much easier to switch over than ball pythons. One of mine requires about 30 seconds of tong teasing to get him to take his F/T rat, and the other just eats hers off of a plate. Good luck!
