The other BPs I've owned were adults when I got them. Had some minor feeding issues but not bad. I fed 100% live back then. I gave them away when I had to deploy when everything kicked off in 2001. None of them were bad purchases. I wish I had known some things back then that I know now. I didn't use thermostats. I just kept them in big tanks with UTH and heat lamps. Humidity wasn't an issue. I was already monitoring humidity pretty close because of all the guitars I had in the house. Didn't really have any health issues that were apparent. I got to see them a bunch over the years after that but I never stayed stateside long enough to get them back. My worst purchase was a Burmese. I had no business getting something that would grow so big. I knew how big they got but was way less than honest with myself when it came to being able to house her when she got big. I ended up giving her to someone that was more equipped to take care her. I was lucky to be able to give her to someone more experienced than me. I'm not going that big again. lol I'm def getting another boa sometime next year though. Pretty excited about that.
