Re: Baby boa
I agree and I will work her up in size. Don't want to over feed her and wind up with her puking. Shes only about 6 weeks old. Gonna stick to the rat pinks for 6 more feedings. That was her first rat. Ive got frozen feeders for her first 20 or so feedings. I've got some more rat pinks, then fuzzies, pups, and weaners waiting. Im shooting for slow steady growth with out lots of waste.

Re: Baby boa
I would feed her a pink one more time, just to make sure she has the "taste" of a rat then bump up her prey size. Unless you are feeding every 5 days. It may look like they are having a problem with bigger prey, but 1.5x the thickest part of her body is just right.
When they are little like that I use the 10 cent, 5 cent, 25 cent rule. If yer snake is as round as a dime, feed it something as round as a nickel. If its as round as a nickle, feed it something as round as a quarter. And so on.

One of the reasons I got her was her tail. The very distal end if you look closely is a small stripe.
