Hey you guys,
I made a tough decision today. I got rid of my red tail in exchange for a much younger one. This came after some more feeding frustrations. The guy a the pet store said that my boa probably wouldnt get much bigger than his already 4 to 5 foot length. Honestly, I feel bad for just trading him like that but Ive been back and fourth with him for a long time, something tells me that I got him at an age where there was a problem before I came a long. I figured since I did like having a snake, and that I didnt necesarrly try to just get out of snakes altogether, and although I did kinda make a decision on whether it was good or bad i dont know yet, I decided to make an even trade for a baby boa. The guy at the pet store said he was about 6 to 7 months but he seems much younger....still young enough to pop to check for his sex. Hes prolly 1 foot long at the very most IF that. Seeing how hes young and not set in his ways, it will be easy for me to get him use to me and have him a steady environment, not to mention converting him to dead prey. I already have a head start in fact, last night he ate a mouse that was killed by a reticulated youth and when the mouse was dangled before him he constricted it and ate it and it was already dead. my point is what is the best feeding schedule for me to follow, ive been thinking of two mice a week whiles hes young and eventually 1 rat a week when hes older? BUT i dont want to power feed, i mean it would suck to have one snake that wouldnt eat and then powerfeed another, anyways reply back!~
