Hi folks, here with a few questions on a boa I got a little over a month ago. This is by no means my first snake but it is my first boa so I'd like to make sure I'm doing things right. I'm active on some other reptile forums and recognize a few names here and there.
He's a Hog Island boa, born in 2017 in June if I remember correctly. The breeder said he was on hoppers and small mice but that he was ready to move up to regular adult mice which is what I've been feeding him. He defecated the second or third day I had him but didn't again until I gave him a short soak this weekend which was about 4 weeks later. Should I be concerned about this? He also has eaten his mouse backwards four out of the five times he's been fed in my care but I don't think there's much I can do about that.
My main concern was his body condition. He seems a bit on the skinny side to me with some "loose" looking areas especially on his neck and midsection. Anyone have any opinions? I can take better pictures if needed. My scale broke so I can't weigh him but he's about 30 inches in length.
