Hog island feeding question

[BFT12890]

I would absolutely go back to feeding every 10-14 days. Preferably every 14 if he's eating large rats. Feeding every week is too often for an adult boa. He's likely to be off feed because of that, at least in part. You don't need a boa to grow too fast or put weight on too fast. They have very slow metabolisms and feeding too frequently and growing too quickly will cause health problems down the road.

A medium rat once every 10-14 days is NOT underfeeding for a boa. They are not ball pythons.

When I first got him he had a lot of wrinkly skin at the neck and bends which is why I tried to add some overall size.

I don't mean to sound rude, but at 6 feet, 4000~ grams, a large rat (200~ grams) is sufficient every 14 days? that's .05% bodyweight every two weeks. Im no expert so im not trying to imply you are wrong I just want to make sure I understand completely.

Since we all love pics, heres one of him after he shed :]
