Amazons seem to grow slower than other boas and are generally long and skinny. Mine is 8 months old and I've had him since he was 8 weeks old and he is alittle under 3 feet and very skinny. I feed him 1 pinky every 5 days. As for the shedding I have experienced difficulties. Try moist sphagnum moss in a cricket container and letting your ATB chill in it for 20 to 30 minutes.Fill the container loosley to the brim with the moss but allow enough room for you ATB to crawl through it.
