Ive had my boas for about 2 months now they both about 2 and half months. Now they have both eaten regularly every 5 days. Ive Noticed growth but neither of them has shed yet should i be worried??

Sorry I meant that they are both two and half months old i believe...

I would think they should have shed by now. If they are acting healthy and fine.........I would say they are ok. They will shed. Depending on the size they are and the size of the food item you are feeding them you could be slowing their shedding cycle. ??? I don't know. I have two babies and they shed pretty regularly. I feed them every four days right now. They are eating pinkie rats.
Can't be much of a help. Sorry.

No, you don't really have anything to worry about. But neonates (baby boas) usually shed every month or so for the first year or so. Like the other Mr. Lokken said, depending on the size of the meal you could be slowing down the shedding cycle. Make sure that you are feeding the right sized mice and definately make sure that you have the right humidity inthe cage, because humidity pays a huge part in the shed cycle, (food, heat and humidity). A warm tank with the right temps. and a water bowl in the tank, you also have to make sure that you mist your tank every now and then becuase the water bowl isn't enough.
I hope I helped out some.

...it is a bit of a long time but they'll be going into a shed soon. Keep on feeding.
