I read it in The Boa Constrictor Manual by Philippe de Vosjoli. I was made to understand this book was quite accurate re: husbandry. At any rate, I only ever offer her two prey items if the first one is inordinately small. I've always been afraid of power-feeding (because she is a pet for me. I'm not a breeder), and I want to have her around for as long as possible. My biggest concern is that she doesn't seem to be growing as rapidly as I think she should. She's 11 months old and about two and a half feet long... I just want to make sure she's healthy. If none of this seems out of the ordinary, than I'm going to keep doing what I've been doing. Thanks very much for the info folks!

I find Pheobe to be the most agreeable female I have ever come across. Dinner is cheap, she never wants to eat out, she can't talk, she's deaf and she doesn't care if I see other women. :P
