Hey,

certainly not the end of the world, and I wish I could get you the old Rio Bravo Reptiles web page. The feeding schedule and seasonal drops were excellent. Vin Russo's book is also helpful. Nobody is down on you. The quick growth of a boa,especially a male just gets some folks worried. Yours is definitely big, but you can lean him out and start making him hunt and wait for his food. Cool your temps and let him go 4 weeks with nothing since you fed the rabbit. It will be healthy for him.

I am sort of in between what breeders do for males and what I've been advised from reputable people for maxing out a male in a healthy fashion. I have personally decided to slow things down a bit and use seasonal drops.

At this point I'd go with Doolittle or Evenstar's advice. Your male is certainly big enough and you can lean him out. You'll want to see some lines on his back and look for a total loaf shape from head to tail.

The wild boa in the pic, if it is in fact wild could be a female, and it could be gravid, or recently have eaten. Wild boas can eat feverishly at certain times of the year and then go months with nothing. They cruise more than a caged boa, and have several obstacles to overcome. There are positives and negatives in the wild. The exercise is a benefit, but the captive environment offers much more safety and obviously endless amounts of food.

Just back him down a little. If you continue rabbits, really space them out. Maybe throw in a quail here and there on the smaller side, but keep the 20 day space. For now,,, I seriously think he's good through the end of March.
