I don't powerfeed at all, so I really couldn't tell you that. All I can say is that some of my females at say 5 years old are 6' and some at 5 years old are 8'. The difference being their genetics in terms of growth/size, just as humans vary in size/height/etc. This is where I've seen smaller females of the same maturity drop smaller litters(say 12 for example) of larger babies than the larger female that dropped a bigger litter(say 30) and the babies were smaller. Not tiny runts, but not quite as large as those from the smaller litter. I would attribute this to the amount of energy needed to support 12 babies vs. 30 babies. I'm positive it can go the other way and you'll see 12 baby litters with tiny babies. I've had bad litters with slugs, stillborns, and tiny babies from mature females....we're all pretty much still in the dark when it comes to predicting boas with any certainty. I'm still confused, but that's normal-lol, take care
