Oh so you've lumped all boa keepers who use a rack system into one category. Gotcha. You're making blanket assumptions about people based of a few bad apples you've "experienced".

In MY experience, all my boa friends use racks for neonates, juvies and a select few smaller adults. I've been in enough boa rooms to see enclosures for larger adults.

Don't make assumptions.

... I have seen very few, if any boas reach 6' before they turned 3 without some sort of overfeeding.

Your previous posts all draw a line in the sand that any boa reaching 6' at 3 years of less are overfed with NO exception. You have no way of 100% verifying this by the way.

My own boa wouldn't have even reached 6' at 3 years if he hadn't gotten meals twice the size he should have been getting for over a month.

Really? A single month attributed how much growth? How can you say this as fact? How do you know the boa wouldn't have grown XX inches in a month with smaller meals or was just about to hit a growth spurt in general?

As for your snakes. Too small of a sample size. But sure, go ahead and eat your hat. I have a time believing any results from you though.
