[goat202]

That's a pretty decent looking motley. Tell us about her feeding schedule please?

[goat202]

shes not a motley!:( and eats about every 10 days

[MoreliAddict]

It would be easier for us to see the size of the snake if you took a picture of it next to a dollar or a ruler for size reference, but...

1. Are you sure the snake should be alot bigger at only 4-5 months old?
2. Maybe you could be feeding it larger size prey...

My mistake, it's been a while since I saw a motley boa

Eats what?

[goat202]

mice. they look like hoppers

[Wildside]

If you want it to grow faster feed it more. Hoppers every 10 days are gonna keep the snake on the small side for a while.

[dehlol]

Give it an adult mouse every 5-7 days and watch it grow like a weed.

[totheend]

I say no mice, feed her appropriately sized rats.

[Jay]

It's beyond me why people feed now constrictors mice to begin with.
Nice looking bci Colombian.

[dehlol]

Easier and cheaper for me to get adult mice here than rats, more mouse breeders for some reason... Rats also work great if you can, although, personally for any of the large constrictors I prefer to use rabbits end to end, starting with small pinkie rabbits and upgrading as needed, if you have access to such- which most don't. I notice better growth this way.

[Wildside]

Agreed! Use rat pups.I'd go every 5 days right now until you get some good weight on her then go 5-7.

so you think shes an bci Colombian.

[TinkerbellsMom]

backwater reptiles isnt the most legit reptile carrier. I have heard a lot that a lot of their animals showing up sick.

[Jay]

Unless you have recorded bloodlines I can't give you a guaranty, but yes IMO that apears to be a bci colombian

[lumpbump]

Nice looking BCU! Ask the breeder?

[Jendee]

yes i think shes a bci..i would start purchasing from someone else..most boas come with paperwork with a guarantee.
