    Re: Over weight boa

    Even though I've never dealt with obese snakes either, I would agree with Ashley. Just offer a small prey item maybe once every 10-12 days. That's what I was doing with my ghost corn male for a while there when his weight gain was going too fast. He's stable again now, FYI.

    But, as was said, let's see what the experts have to say.

    Feed her less than normal, because you don't want to start an unhealthy habbit of her NOT eating... because thats harder to reverse.
