Sorry, forgot to say, Colombian Boas.

it really depends...
on how much, how often you feed them...
what their genetic disposion is...

I grow my boas up slow personally.
I've seen 2 year olds at 2' and 2 year olds over 6'.
There is also natural variation within a clutch, some grow faster than others.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

They're 3-5 months and 2'...... How could you have a 2 year old at 2'?

Anyway I feed them 1 rat pup and 2 mice, on alternating weeks (like 1 week rat pup, next week mice).
