Hog Island Boa

[Cclark4108]

We rescued a boa about 2 months ago. He turned out to be a Hog Island, thank you for everyone who helped identify him, and we named him Lucius. We have been handling him regularly and have been feeding him large to extra large rats bi-weekly. He is very sociable and attentive. He has a hide but seems to prefer to stay out on his Rock watching in the afternoons as we go about our business. He just shed and though he seemed to have a little trouble after giving him a nice lukewarm bath I was able to get the remaining skin off and he is gorgeous. I got on the scale with him and he weighs 28 lb. I know Hogs are supposed to be slender but at six and a half feet I expected him to at least way upwards of 30 to 35 pounds now. I can't seem to find a weight scale anywhere that would tell me what a healthy weight would be for him. Anyone have any ideas? He doesn't look thin like sickly thin but he's definitely not as girthy as our python gypsy. He's very active he loves to climb any and everything you get close to walls ceiling fans curtains LOL I just want to make sure he is indeed as happy and healthy as he seems.
