Re: I've joined the club
Took the little guy out for a bit and snap a picture. Best true to colour I can get at the moment, it's grey outside today but it's natural lighting. He now tips the scales at 199g. He is also less flighty when I'm picking him up and calmer holding. He hung out still for a bit then started exploring instead of his usual attempts to get away before calming down.

Thanks, I think he is ready to go up a prey size. He has been on the same size since he was 124g.

Rat pinkies, mouse hoppers or whatever the ASF equivalent is.

Re: I've joined the club
Yeah I'd agree it's time to up the prey size. I know the metabolism and growth rates are different for boas and pythons but your guy looks like he could easily smash a rat pup. My carpet is 135g and he eats (2) rat fuzzys per feeding. I'm pretty sure he can take a rat pup as well but I still have a whole bag of rat fuzzys to finish off.

Re: I've joined the club
I'm paranoid of fattening up by over feeding so I'm cautious in my size upgrades lol. Read multiple times boas fatten easy and it's hard to thin out.

Re: I've joined the club
Slow and steady wins the race  . I don't power feed any of my snakes but I do feed them more liberally than some keepers.

Re: I've joined the club
My carpet slams her rat pinks down. She's got about 6 more to go (which is 3 weeks since I feed 2 at a time) and then ahe will be upped torat fuzzies if they are available at my local store. If not, then I'm going to feed a combo of rat pups and large hopper mice.

Re: I've joined the club
Well I've got a good update on little Banzai. He attacked his rat pups over the past 2 weeks. And it seems to have altered his behaviour like flicking a light switch. Where he was usually hanging out in the back corner or buried in the cypress under a plant or curled up under the fake plant he is now hanging out on his branch and comes to the front whenever I am in the room. As you can see in the first pic him staring me down last night. And feeding tonight and the bulge it left in his neck as he was swallowing. I'm very happy with these new changes. It's nice to see him in all his glory more often. It seems he is part tree python lol

I agree with zig on a low feeding schedule. Id rather have a healthy lean animal for many years instead of powerfeeding and having a large animal for a shorter period.
