New Boa Feeding questions
Hey all! So I just adopted a boa a couple of days ago who I believe was meant to be used as a breeder. He was born in march, and is already pushing 3 feet. I was doing a bunch of reading and from what I’ve gathered I think he was power feeding him. He told me to feed medium rats but from what I’ve read he shouldn’t be on anything nearly as large as that at only 3 months old. I guess my main questions are 1.) can I move him back down to smaller meals without and negative affects on him? 2.) Will he continue to grow incredibly fast once I cut back on rat size or will he end up being huge by a year old. I have a 25 gallon atm because I was expecting him to be much smaller at this age and am now looking for a larger enclosure. If I get a 36x18x18 will that last him about a year or should I just go straight to a 4x2? (I’ll likely get something larger).
OR Am I just totally wrong and medium rats are appropriately sized for him? I feed my ball python medium rats but she’s a lot thicker than he is, he’s got a lot of length but he isn’t super thick, I’d say maybe 1 1/2” thick
Thanks I’m advance for your input!
