David,
...GOOD JOB!! It sounds like you have done good with this snake. At 24 inches a BRB can eat meals quite a bit larger than a rat pinky. If you feed it larger meals it can grow faster and eventually catch up. Until they get about 5 feet long BRBs are good at converting food into growth and will not become obese unless you really push the food on them. Like the other Dave said, we have a Rainbow Boa forum and would welcome you over there.
Jeff
>>Thank you so much for your response! I was worried that due to the poor conditions it lived in while young and the feeding problems, that it wouldn't grow to their normal size and due to that possible have health issues down the road. I'll definitely check out the sub forum...I didn't even notice there was one! No plans to breed him/her at this time, although that's not out of question for the future. And thanks for posting those pics, those are so beautiful...IMO, no other creature compares to the beauty of snakes, especially the BRBs. Well, maybe women
