Super motley boas

Hi I recently took in two super Motleys one albino and one normal from Texas Boa Exotics. I know the hype about their genetic disorders and the breeder told me they would never live long. He told me to feed them small and attempt to not handle a ton. Of coarse I've been running a rescue for a year now and my goal is not to let an animal slowly deteriorate. I haven't yet found anyone who has been able to age a super motley up to a mature age where it could breed. I know it's because they are "weak snakes" but if love some ideas to maybe try to help these snakes out. Possible vitamin sups? Medications? Anything! I'd love to be able to try to raise up both the female and male (not for breeding of coarse) to a good size without harm to the snakes. Any ideas guys?

Re: Super motley boas

No expertise on this one...but I wish you the best of luck, and am eager to see what tips the community can pool to at least extend their lives.
