My Red Tail is growing really fast

A one to two year old boa should be on a 10-14 day feed schedule, imo. Even as babies they should be on a 7-10 day. Slow growing your boa is the best for it. They have a slower metabolism. They also should be fed a prey item that does not leave a noticeable lump. The rapid growth could be from feeding weekly. I would definitely space out to at least 10 days. Also, boas need much more room than a ball. I would not keep her in a tub for very long.

Am I the only one who finds something wrong with the fact that a year and a half old boa was still Being fed Hoppers? And at that size it was not being fed every week. That boa should be on small rats every 10-14 days at the least. I've kept boas for going on 12 years. None of them were power fed or over fed for that matter. This boa has been extremely under fed. A healthy boa being fed properly a year and a half old should absolutely be bigger than two and a half feet and eating larger prey than a hopper.
