He was fed pretty much every 7 days a small pinky. He loved them. Never grew (thought this was just as it was with Boa’s since I know they’re slow growers so I didn’t really think anything of the shedding either). But he did act really odd every few days or so. Most of the time he was crawling around his log and his branch or in his hide at night, but every so often he would bunch up at the glass and have his body and his head straight up on the glass about a third the length of his body and would stay there for a while. But other than that acted super normal and alert. Whenever we got him out he acted just like any other snake, would hold onto one of my fingers with his tail and crawl about my hand. Me and my girlfriend do not have the space for an adult boa right now which is why we chose to go with a baby from a reputable breeder. We will have the space in about a year or so which is again why we chose to go with a baby. Having a Tegu and an adult coastal x jungle carpet python takes up the majority of our reptile area just the enclosures alone haha.
