Ball pythons vs. boa constrictors - key differences in care?

[RedRabbit]

Mine started putting on more size at about 7-8 years of age, but given that you aren't planning to breed, I assume this is just curiosity & for planning purposes?
You have LOTS of time to adjust to the growth of a boa.

Haha, yes, it's mostly for planning purposes -- and to have realistic expectations to curb my eagerness to see my babies quickly grow big and strong. I'm sure that's part of what makes it tempting to deviate from a regulated feeding regimen, so I want to arm myself with the knowledge now to avoid over-feeding as a result of my own impatience.
