Re: Advice on weight gain for underweight snake
He looks very healthy. Nice squared off shape to him. As others have said boas are very easy to overfeed as they rarely refuse a meal whether they need one or not.
Here's my Central American Boa imperator for reference-she's around 16 mo and weighs around 285g. She's just been moved up to 2x20g mice (I only feed multiple pretty when she's going up a size-personally I think it's easier on her at first to eat 2x smaller mouse than 1x 40g weaner rat and I'll do the same with the weaners when she's being moved up to adult rats).
Nice looking boa you have. They are supreme snakes-my favourite...
