I agree with all of this completely. To add, I would feed her one small to medium sized rat every 2 weeks. I would definitely not feed her any more frequently than that. She could stand to trim down slightly, but she doesn't look too overweight to me. Proper feeding will help her condition. Her growth should slow down a bit and eventually she should look nice and lean with a slightly squarish appearance. Boas do much better when they are slow-grown and they should not be fed like ball pythons. With their slower metabolism, less is better!
She looks slightly larger than my September '10 male Argentine. I'll take a stab in the dark and guess that she's about 2 years old.
She looks like a really nice snake! Temperament is most important and she seems to be pretty great. Fyi though, boas are addictive - bet you can't have just one!!![]()
