Evenstar, please tell me your opinion about her size for 7 months...

She looks fine. She's pretty big for only 7 months, but overall condition is far more important than size. Some snakes just grow faster than others. She appears to have nice condition - she is square and lean enough. I would have her on a 10 day feeding schedule and make sure the prey doesn't leave a noticeable lump. I would also put her on mice instead of rats - the lower fat content of mice will be more beneficial to her right now. You want to encourage the RIGHT KIND of growth. She should do well for you!
Thank You very much Evenstar, i have notice that You are an expert :-) , breeder was feeding with rats from the begining... You think i need to put her on mice?

Mice will provide more bone (therefore more calcium) and less fat. She is pretty big and I would not want to see her any thicker. Personally, I like mice for young boas. But if she's eaten rats all her life, you could stick with rats - I would maybe take them down a size and make sure not to feed too often!! Every 10 days is often enough - even every 12-14 days would be fine.
