    Small BOA

    I finally got to measure my male common boa i bought from a snake show in dallas texas. Anyways he is 5 to six months old(born in august) and he measures 26in long and about 150grams. is this a good size for his age.


    Temps:89-92 hot side ground temp.
    78-82 air temp.

    Food: he is eating 1 fuzzie rat a week(its the same size as the thickest part of his body) I feed him a fuzzy rat last friday and 4 days later he was roaming his cage for food again. should i step up to weeling rats or feed 2 fuzzy rats every 4 days?

    I'd feed him a rat that leaves a bulge as often as he looks in need of food. I feed my male thats 10 months old a smallish rat every 2 weeks and he does fine on it

    Too many boas to list and a few balls as well
