I feel pretty bad now that i let that completely slip my mind Ill be sure to have no more interaction between them for the next few months and be extra careful to sanitize anything they come in contact with.

    And Sauzo, yeah stella is pretty large. Her rats are hardly noticeable when she eats them, and she appears to have good muscle tone but im kind of worried that she's too big being about 36 inches at 7 months old. She was larger than her siblings when i picked her up though, so hopefully it's more genetic than improper feeding proportions. Rango looks awesome and appears to be about the same size as my new hypo. Would you suggest i switch stella over to mice of a similar size? or spread her meals out further?
    I personally feed mice until they are large enough for weaned rats. Some people like to start early on rats but for boas who eat anything, I don't see the point really. As for size, she might just be a big baby lol. I don't think you need to space out the feedings yet. I usually do weekly until they are on weaned rats. Then I go to 2-3 weeks per feeding. Then once on medium rats and larger, I just stick to 2-3 weeks for females and 3-4 weeks for males.

    And thanks. Rango is definitely a little looker. Thinking of pairing him up with a snow or snowglow female to make my own sharp snows, snowglows, sharp albinos and sharp sunglows but who knows. I've never bred boas so it would something new and I would have at least 5 years to anyways
