hi, i just got a bci 4-5 days ago i did my research before hand, i was wondering your thoughts on size influence through feeding.
I want to limit size somewhat,not interested in hugeness
what feeding frequency would help limit its size within reason, of coarse i do know it varies from snake to snake, do we have any control over slowing growth, i am aware people power feed for optimal growth, is there a safe healthy way to minize growth within reason,

if it does get bigger than anticipated i am prepared to house and create a good home. thanks for your help

I'm going through the same thing right now. I want to keep my two common boas at a resonable size. This is what i am planning to do. Feed once a week up to 6 to 7 months. Then every 10 days up to 2 years. Then every 2 to 3 wks for the rest of there lives. By doing this i hope to keep my male at 6 feet and my female at 7 feet.
