So you can be overloading your snake without realizing it. Boas are feeding monsters, as you know. And they will always "beg" for food. That doesn't mean you should feed them more though.


.....And, yea, I know I just got some raspberries from your guys, lol!
Oh, my.

I know two little girls who are going to be very unhappy for the next few days.

They're still 'babies' in that they're probably not even two years old and long and skinny.
[about as big around as a 50 cent piece and maybe 3 1/2 feet long]

Saturday is feeding day and they're already antsy and displaying themselves prominently and dramatically every time I go by their houses.

[I'm just going to tell them what you said and blame their 'starvation' on you]
