Still not growing, help?

Okay, that's reassuring. I was only concerned because all the research I'd done before buying her said she should be full-grown at about 2 or 3 years. I have no problem waiting, just thought something was wrong with her.

I know all about power-feeding and I've never tried it and never will. She gets a single rat every two weeks. I don't force her to eat more often, nor do I line a second rat up while she's swallowing. It's a cruel practice and I'd never think of shortening her lifespan just to show off an impressive snake.

That's good to know. Also, they should not necessarily be full grown by 2-3 years. Fact is, every snake is different and boas do need to be grown slowly.

Shouldn't it be getting fed more often at that size? ! small rat every 2 weeks seems like a stretch, but i could be wrong. Just wondering because i just picked up my first rub the other day.

Edit: sorry i misread your post, won't eat anything sooner.

Not necessarily. As adults, boas tend to do better being fed once every 2-3 weeks. Even though this one is a bit small, she is about 2 years old. She's not a baby anymore no matter what her size. A 2 week feeding schedule is perfectly appropriate for her.
