He'll be 2 in May and I'm a slow feeder. He's just now bumped to smalls for the last couple meals every 2 weeks. His girth has began to fill in and I expect some length to add on with the next shed. I don't expect him to be large at all. I was a bit surprised at the slow growth. Everyone tells you and you read it everywhere, but it's just not the same til you witness first hand I think. Oddly enough before I got him and really increased my preparation research I thought boas were these huge snakes and I was taking a brave leap from my bp lol! He's healthy and that's all that matters!Originally Posted by CloudtheBoa
He's not small for his age at all. Depending on how you're feeding him, I wouldn't worry about his growth rate.
This is my 2 year old male, he's only 3', maybe a few inches shy of 3'. My females are going to be 3 in June, and they're only about 4' or under. Boas grow very, very slowly when they aren't being overfed.
(This photo is 2 months old, so he's smaller, but shows his body tone better. You want a rectangular cross section with flat sides and without rounded sides.)
They either are or aren't anery. It's possible this boa is an anery, as he displays the characteristics of the morph, but he can't have "some" anery.
