what kind of boa do you think this is
i think i got an other dwarf boa again ! can someone tell me what kind she is. i had an dwarf boa before and had to sell it cause it wasnt the right snake i ordered her from backwater reptiles. as most people know they dont show the actual pic of the reptiles they selling. she suppose to be an columbian red tail boa. and still look like a new born and i know for a fact she is older then 4 months they told me she was around 2 months when i got her and i had her for about 3 months and its like she didnt grown an inch. and i dont know if yall can see it but she got some orange lines going down her back. ill post some pics below plz. me what u think she is
i think they sold me an dwarf boa and not a Columbian bci !

Re: what kind of boa do you think this is
It would be easier for us to see the size of the snake if you took a picture of it next to a dollar or a ruler for size reference, but...
1. Are you sure the snake should be alot bigger at only 4-5 months old?
2. Maybe you could be feeding it larger size prey...

Re: what kind of boa do you think this is
If you want it to grow faster feed it more. Hoppers every 10 days are gonna keep the snake on the small side for a while.

Give it an adult mouse every 5-7 days and watch it grow like a weed.

I say no mice, feed her appropriately sized rats.

Re: what kind of boa do you think this is
Easier and cheaper for me to get adult mice here than rats, more mouse breeders for some reason... Rats also work great if you can, although, personally for any of the large constrictors I prefer to use rabbits end to end, starting with small pinkie rabbits and upgrading as needed, if you have access to such- which most don't. I notice better growth this way.

Re: what kind of boa do you think this is
Agreed! Use rat pups.I'd go every 5 days right now until you get some good weight on her then go 5-7.
