Re: new boa owner
 to the Boaddiction. Boas will do good on a 7 day feeding schedule for about their first year or so. Once they get into small and medium rats, a 10 day schedule will be fine. If it gets big enough for larger prey such as large+ rats, rabbits, etc, then I would go with a 14 day schedule.
Boas do grow slower than BP's, and it seems that they tend to add length a little quicker than girth...

Ok, weighed my guy last night. 64 grams after about a month here. This was three days after a meal. So 14 grams in a month. This is our first boa, so not sure if that is average growth rate for them or what. But maybe it will give you an idea.
