Hey guys, I'm not new to boas or snakes at all for that matter. I've been keeping for about 16 years. I mostly have rats and corns, but I do have few burms and 2 large adult normal boas. Now I got the 2 boas as large adults about 3 years ago and they have put on some size since but i'm don't know anything about the growth rate of these guys. I have raised burms from egg to adult and know how fast the grow. The reason i'm asking is because I just bought a new baby Columbian Boa. Can someone give me a growth rate and good feeding program on them? I am giving the snake a small F/T adult mouse every 3 days and plan to up the size to rats pups when the snake gets big enough to take them. I mean I know how big they get but I don't know how long it takes them to get there.I don't want to over feed and cause a regurge but I want to feed enough to get some size on this guy pretty fast. Thanks alot.

They always seem to grow quicker as babies. I would feed every 5 to 7 days instead of every 3 days thats a little to much (IMO)I feed my babies every 7 days and they are healthy and growing just fine. (Again just my opinion).
