How big will my red tail get??

[Dianne]

At 1.5 years old, I’d be backing off to feed no more than every 14 days. Boas have slower metabolisms than many pythons and can have a shortened life span when fed too much or often. Obesity really works against these guys. My adult female is 7’ long, and about 18 pounds. She’s fed one xx-large rat every 2-3 weeks.
