  • Video of a Well Muscled 2007 0.1 Normal

    Pretty much just what it says. Nothing super special.

    But ... I am a staunch advocate against overfeeding boas and creating obese boas and since Artemis is one of the few adult females I have that I have raised completely from a neonate she is basically my poster child.

    Video is mostly to show her muscle tone and body shape for those interested in ideal body types in Colombians.

    Might be boring to those not interested in that though.

    To answer some questions I got after I posted it on Facebook:
    -She eats one prey item every 5-6 weeks on average.
    -She is allowed to crawl around the stair case at least once a week.
    -She was put on this feeding schedule in 2011 when she was about five and a half feet long. She has since grown another two feet.
    -I do not know how big her sire or dam was, she is just a pet store boa.
    -What she appears to be so interested in when she lifts her head is a retracting tape measure.

        She's very nice looking. So, question: I just cut my 375g male from once a week to bi-weekly feeding to coincide with his increasing from rat fuzzies to pups. Should I be feeding him even less frequently, or should I continue to cut back whenever his prey size increases, or just go by body shape?

          Great example of a big healthy girl! Thanks for all the info and the video. Maybe I missed it, but what size prey are you feeding now?

            The only reason I care about a boa's weight is when breeding so being told someone has a 375g is less important to me than someone telling me how old the animal is, if that makes sense.

            I do not feed boas rats until they can take weaned rats as I like to avoid milk bellies.

            If a boa is on rat pups (I would use adult mice) then I would be feeding them every 10 - 14 days, so that's fine to me.

                  Great looking girl! Good to see there are still others who don't feed them every week to get them large (and fat…) asap. Great work
