With it being winter time im only feeding about every other week.
Last time she regurged I waited about 3 weeks to feed her and she didnt regurge for a few months til the other day.
I fed her a small rat, it was a larger meal then she has gotten in the past but it was maybe a tad bigger than her largest point. Usually I feed her a couple smaller ones but I thought she could handle the bit larger of a meal. She in the past has regurged smaller meals.
I really don't handle her unless i am cleaning her cage, and i never handle any of my snakes after they eat i wait at least 3 days to be safe.
She is in a constrictors northwest HDPE cage, which i heat with heat tape and is controlled by a herpstat.
Im really not sure of the humidity levels, but she always has perfect sheds, none of my boas ever have a bad shed. ( knock on wood that they dont start lol)
I fed her a rat that i bred, it was frozen.defrosted before i fed it to her.
I defrost them in a baggie in warm water, and replace the water over a few hours then when i feel they are completely defrosted i let them sit in hot water to rise the temp of the meal up.
