I got my first boa, BCC Suriname. She has been eating a large meal every 7 days and isn't looking obese. Very eager to eat after a week, everyone tells me to slow it down but she is not fat so I will keep going and keep a close eye on her weight. Not sure why she seems to eat more than what everyone tells me is normal
Its not “normal “ boa’s at a young age 0-6/6-12months will grow fast when you’re pumping them with food so they don’t really get “fat” but each time their heart and organs expand as they are consuming their meal and they are put onder stress . If you’re feeding it “large” meals weekly you’re limiting its lifespan significantly . Around 8 years they’re gone .You could feed weekly but their prey size should be considerably smaller that it almost doesn’t leave a lump in its body . I would recommend for a healthy feeding schedule: 0-6 months every 7/10 days 6-12 months 10-14 days 1-2 years every 2 weeks and you skip a week now and then. Around this period boas (if you’re feeding your boa too much )they can get fat noticeably . 2-2,5 years every 21 days same principle as before and 3+ years every 3 to 4 weeks . You can alternate in prey size time to time . Just take care of your boa there is no rushing it your boa will grow over time she/he wil get there .I highly suggest you look up the BoaPhile he has so much experience 40+ when it comes to boa’s there is still a lot of information out there that a lot of novice keepers just don’t know of yet and it can be really helpful to have a reliable source of good information available too you especially if you have such a wonderful delicate animal like an true red tailed boa :)
@@jeromek1806 Good info, I had no idea it could reduce her lifespan without being obese. She turned 6 months last week and currently has not eaten for 2 weeks because she's blue. I will move her to the adult mice I have instead of the larger chick meals
i really appreciate the way you explained everything, it's so hard to find ppl who explain everything in an easy to understand manner, especially for boas. i hope you get more subs my dude
Love this video absolutely gorgeous snake I just got myself a het sterling het albino male and he's been absolutely amazing I've been feeding him a small mouse every 5-7 days
Hey man. For sure. I agree with the comments. Good video and info. Especially the feeding schedule not being to the day. I appreciate the video. Liked and subscribed.
Honestly the reason why she's not being defensive which is cuz you're very careful how you handle her and you not making no sudden movements or anything so you're not spooking your you doing a good job though I got one too she's beautiful might as a lipstick sunglow jungle probably make any sudden movement she can send defensive position but she has never tried to bite me she gets ready just in case something tries to get at her

Another on point video. Love seeing the next generation of snake keepers with such knowledge and passion. Keep up the stellar videos young man 👍🏾.
Love the video! What’s the enclosures you have your boas in? Size and brand?

Rare are those that don't overfeed their boas on RUclips to get huge beasts! Congrats!
Being a year old and 3’, some would think that is over feeding!
I have 1 year olds at only 28”-30”.
@@richjustrich8043 yup i have a female who’s only 4.5ft and she’s 4 years old

Great video and beautiful animals!
Thank you for the in depth video !!
Ayeeee!!!
Hey , 3/25 is my birthday!
Happy belated birthday.
What morph is she? My bestie and I went to pick up a boa today and he looks just like yours! We’ve been trying to figure out his morph
I believe she was an albino, I dunno exactly if she had any other crossings. But dang, she sure was beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful! I currently have 2 ball pythons but I want a boa or two eventually 😁
