Thanks for the response. When I mentioned I wanted a large boa, I didn't mean it in the sense that I got it to powerfeed it in hopes of making it into a monster. I meant more that I wanted to end up with a large healthy boa. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for the info. I'll continue my previous feeding regimen.









>>The best way to get a large boa is to buy a python. To force size on a boa is a death sentence. Just like it is with people.

>>Having said that, there are large boas out there. But, it's generally believed that large boas are the result of genetics, not feeding - just like with people. REALLY large boas are the result of feeding genetically large boas lots of food. Once every 2 weeks is an excellent schedule for a boa. Since you're coming from the world of pythons, it may bear mentioning that you don't want to give your boa a really large meal every time you feed - just like with people. Something approximately the girth of your boas body (a touch smaller actually) is more than enough.
