I recently aquired a male conda about 6 months ago. Hes exactly 9ft and 40 pounds. Ive figured hes probably full grown the previous owner said he was more than 4 years old. Anyway Ive read this book called whats wrong with my snake and it says adult boids in captivity should be fed 2x their weight per year.Anyway i fed him a approx. 3 pound rabbit every 2 weeks so far sometimes i get a slight larger rabbit 4-5 pounds and feed him once a month. ive always used this method for my adult burms and tics also. Is this a good schedule??? Also I think im giving this guy to a good friend of mine who loves him And i want to start off with a baby green soon I fell in love with them!!! anyway to start I have a 30 gallon tank set up with newspaper. Temps are about 78 ambient and 90-95 on the heat pad. There is a hide over the heat pad(is this a good idea?) a branch in the cage and a large dog bowl as a nice pool on the other end of the cage. Is this a good setup for a baby green....also im so sorry for al these quyestions but im really specific with feeding , I was wondering how often and how much to feed a growing green.
thanks so much for any help
Bobby
