Roe progression thread!

[CloudtheBoa]

Good points CloudtheBoa. I don't remember if all this has been addressed in previous threads. Quite a few new BCI owners here and I have trouble keeping up .

I think the concern is that Roe is only 75G right now, if I recall.

However, feeding smaller meals can't hurt.

I don't believe her weight to be an issue. A weight gain of 14 grams in a single month is decent amount of weight gain, my boas gain on average 6-12 grams a month while they're smaller. Even if she's still at 75 grams now that it's been about another month, she is still a good weight for her size imo. My sunglow was 1 month old and 80 grams when I got her, my anery motley was 4 months old and 82 grams when I got him. Those two and OP's boas seem about the same size (OP's may be a bit smaller), and eating a mouse hopper every 7 days is more than plenty of food. I see no concern for her weight, based off of her age and feeding schedule

It seems the boa is missing every other meal, which is another reason why I'm suspecting she's full. She'll skip one week, but then eat the following, and my boa Cloud did something similar when I was overfeeding him. The longer I went overfeeding him, the more meals he'd skip and longer between feeds he'd go. He went from eating weekly, to skipping a meal and eating 2 weeks later, then skipping 2 meals to eat 3 weeks later, and then 3 meals to eat 4 weeks later, etc. until I reduced his prey size again. I no longer feed any of my boas weekly, unless for health concerns.
