She is here! She was dropped off about 5 minutes to 10 this morning EDT. She is even more gorgeous in person than in any of the pictures. As for the pink... she has lots of pink thrown in throughout her body. Since I just received her, I don't have a reference to go by. Will have to wait until her next shed to compare I guess.

Now a question. The first boa I owned, I had gotten as a 3 week old neonate. She measured 23 inches long. She, in her first year if I remember correctly grew to over 3 1/2 to 4 foot long. I just measured the albino and she is roughly 28 inches long. She's very active so measuring her was tough. I used twine and just ran it along her back, from snout to the tip of her tail. The breeder said that she eats once a week and she is eating small to medium small mice.

Is this a normal size at this age? I think with my first one, I was feeding her adult mice when she reached 3 or 4 months old and on to small rats by 1 year old. I guess I was power feeding her, my male that I have, I kept to the breeder schedule and he is on the small side for a 3 year old Boa.

I just want to make sure that I am doing everything right, especially since she will be my breeder.

Pictures will be forthcoming a little later.
