I have had him since he was 1' 3" long, and the SPCA I got him from said he was about 2 months old. He is the only boa I have. I have a bunch of ball pythons so I am more advanced in looking after them. My husband wanted the boa so I picked it up for him as a gift. So if he was power fed, wouldn't that be our fault? When I first got him I fed him rat pups, then went to small rats. Like I said, the rats I am feeding him now are bigger then small rats but smaller then medium rats (not really sure what you would call that size of rat). Ever since I got him I have been feeding him once a week with prey the size of his girth. I do this with my ball pythons so maybe I am wrong when it comes to boas? He could be older, or possibly even younger then I was told. He could have mixed blood in him. I do not know. The SPCA rescued him from a hoarders house so they probably guessed for all I know.

I will start feeding every two weeks then? He isn't fat, just long.
