Let nature take it's course. Feed it an appropriately-sized prey item every 7 days and it will grow quicker than you think.

Did you mean a 20g tank? If you seriously have a 200g tank, that is WAY too big for such a small baby boa...you're majorly going to stress it out.

You wait ... they "get big" all on their own.

Trying to grow boas fast is a very bad idea!!! It can cause regurge and etc. Boas are not forgiving like pythons.

Yeah...you ain't kidding. Just give her regular feedings and she'll grow like a weed!!!

yes i have a 200 what i think is i shod get a new boa to put with her are get her big what is wrung with have a big tank 4 a small boa

I've read that switching from mice to rats will improve it's growth. I know it did for my ball python. DON'T power feed...once a week should be more than enough. Some people feed after the snake poo's...that may be a good idea...feed a rat whose girth is as big around as the snake.

200? that is massive....and as mentioned...too big. go smaller.

Having a small snake in a big tank will make it feel very exposed and scared. Their instinct is to hide and not be seen, so by putting her in a big glass enclosure like that, you're making her feel out in the open. You definitely need to put her in a smaller tank.

DO NOT buy a bigger boa to put in with her. The bigger one will most likely eat the smaller one. Aside from that, they are solitary animals and do best when living alone. Having a cagemate will stress them out, cause them to vie for heat and hiding places, and could cause them not to eat. Plus if one gets sick, the other will too. You also won't know who pooped or regurgitated if it happens.

I think you should do a bit more research online about the care of boas. Anyone have any good links to share?
