what would you say the average size would be for a common red tail boas being a 2004 and a 2003 (not power feeding not a dwarf) how many ponds and how many feet
thanks for your help

It is hard to say because some boas will grow faster than others when given the same amount of food. It also depends on the temperatures at which they are kept at. A VERY ROUGH estimate would be 4-5 ft for a 2004 and 5-6 ft for a 2003. This is an estimate based on the boas I have raised. I feed every 5 days for the first year, every 7 days for the second year, and every 10 days from then out. That is unless I am feeding a female that just had babies. Then I take it back down to once a week until she has put some weight back on. Ambient is 78 and hot spots are 105(unless for a gravid female).

Well I don't know how many ponds they have...lol...just kidding, I know you mean pounds....but for size I would say they could be between 3'-6' so I guess average would be 4.5' ...I really do not know about weights...Hope this helps. Andy
