Its not. 2 XL every 6 weeks is too much. If I was two small it would be better but 2xl is a lot of food to feed consistently. I could literally not fed my 13 year old boa at all in the next 12 months and if she even lost a pound I'd be really surprised. Like mentioned before by someone I don't feed for about 3 months at all during winter.Originally Posted by MasonC2K
This is my 13 year old 8ft girl. She gets large rats every 8 weeks or so with that 3 month fast in winter (which is really just an extra month between meals on this schedule). I do offer a 1-2lb rabbit about once a year now just to change it up. I had bloodwork done on her last year that came back exceedingly normal according to the vet. She was surprised since she's used to seeing issues from her clients with boas and they don't tend to be as old. I've had this one her whole life from when she was a month or two old from a pet store. I've fed her very little from the start. She started on mice then moved to rats. She's always been fasted too except for maybe the first year. I was lucky that when I was young a boa breeder took an interest and made sure my mother and I had the correct information.
