thanks everyone! i was lucky with my hypo hog, i was able to hand pick it from the litter and I chose Edgar because the red and pink on him really stood out in comparison to the rest. and yeah ive noticed that the albino's tend to fade which is a little disapointing but hopefully he wont fade too too much

How do you feed that last one? Looks on the chunky side.

All of them are gorgeous (but I may or may not be biased with boas)!

I was feeding her too much n i realized not too long ago. i was feeding a jumbo rat like every 2 weeks. now im cutting it down to once a month or so.

I'd probably cut down to a regular large rat as well. Very very few boas get large enough for jumbos, and at that point a mixture of regular larges and xx-small rabbits would be preferable considering the high fat count in jumbos (nearly 50% - ~46% to be exact). Once a month is a good schedule, though, glad to hear you've taken some steps to slim her out! Unfortunately these guys lose weight sooo slow. Took me a year of dieting to get my boa slimmed out a few years ago, and he wasn't too terribly overweight.

It just a bummer because i still have like 5 jumbo's in the freezer to use up. i don't want my boa to become obese, but i hate wasting money at the same time. I guess i could see if the shop would take them back but i really doubt it.
