He weighs 251 grams empty as of Thursday; near as I can measure, he's just shy of 30 inches long. His normal food at this point is around an 18 gram mouse. From what I've read (and I know there are a thousand opinions on this) up to six months boas should be fed every 7 days; 6 months to a year feed every 10 days, and after a year go with every other week. Some snakes will require less food; others more.

Of course, with the boas' tendency toward obesity my understanding is that it's better to be more cautious. That said, I don't want to underfeed the little dude. But on the 10-day feeding cycle he's put on 15 grams in 2 weeks, so it doesn't appear to be stunting his growth?
