Hey Ryan, I keep the baby room at 83-86 ambient...they always have hot spots too....On really hot days I may even cut off the hot spots completely....I feed every 7 - 10 days, unless in shed...then they may skip.

Ryan as I tried to convey....it is not about feeding....some boas will just grow and some will not. Some 14 year old boys will shoot to 6' tall and be skinny as a rail! Does that meen they are being power fed?

Don't get me wrong....you can induce growth...but then you could have a pin head boa....that is an unhealthy boa...heat and feed can do that but what I am talking about is normal growth patterns....We were talking about 1 boa that bred at 18 months and people were trying to make the guy out to be something bad....I just want everyone to know that you can have 18 month old 6 foot boas that can and will be just fine!

Hope this helps, Andy
