Ok well my boa is 2 ft long...1/2inch giurth. I give him a hopper mouse every 5 days....is that good...i was thinking of a adult mouse 1x a week but thats too big isnt it? Any way 3 questions

1. what and how often should I feed her
2. My basking spot is 95 what should the other end be? its usually around 77-81
3. I have had a male and female mouse together now for 3 weeks. The female is getting alot chubbier and round...Is she pregneant? Also if she is think its ok to keep themale with her...will she have a good litter?

thanks so much for your help

Newborn common boas can eat adult mice. You can safely feed your 2 footer a fullsized mouse a week to your boa. A snake that size can eat a hopper rat. Put 2 mice of the opposite sex in a cage and you will soon have baby mice. It's what they do....

i can anser 2 of them for you. You should feed at least a full grown mouse once a week and get the male out he will eat the baby mice give the female plenty of bedding so she can make a nest
hope this helps
