Re: Feeding schedule?
The schedule I use for my boa constrictors are:
From birth to 1 year: every 7-10 days or 10-14 days depending on growth/body tone; my 6 month old is eating every 10-14 days
1-3 years: every 10-14 days
3+ years: every 3-6 weeks
All meals either leave no bulge or a bulge with no scale separation. I also fast my older animals, which right now will only be my boa constrictors. I'm debating on fasting my BRBs, too, but I might not. Definitely not fasting my retic or my garters because a hungry retic sounds like a bad idea and I don't have the means to properly brumate the garters.
I've been told by owners/breeders of all boa constrictor subspecies that the schedule I use above is applicable to all subspecies and locales, and that it should be changed slightly by individual. So I assume it is.
