Thanks! That's good to know. I knew you could manipulate feeding schedules with boas and that it is healthier for them to be fed less often, but didn't know that you could also manipulate schedules with short tails.
With that in mind, I think Ill just be on the lookout for the nicest male of whichever species that strikes my fancy. I'll let you guys know when I purchase and ask for more specific feeding information at that time.
Thank you again for your help!
