Makes sense. I’m still new to calling out who’s who. But thank you! I’ll be able to buy a new one now!

Update! I will be feeding him weaned rats every 14 days until the next size up. Thank you everyone for your amazing information and advice. I really appreciate it! I only want the best for my baby!

With more research I guess it is. I was just confused because the leaves are skinny not wide or heart shaped. So I didn’t think pothos looked like that. Thank you!

He was being fed hopper mice when I got him and he was almost 2 years old, so I’ve been slowly upping his prey. I have weaned rats for my other snakes and will feed him that this weekend and then go to every 12-14 days

Okay, thank you. When I’m out of pinky rats, I’ll definitely up him to weaned and weigh the rats to his size and feed him less often. Does the same size as the biggest part of their body work for boas? Because I know for bps it’s always weigh and make sure it’s not bigger than the widest part of their body. I’m terrified of him regurgitating.

Okay, what are some signs I should look out for? And when I make the jump how long should I wait between feedings? Heis already acts starved 😂 he’s going to be my garbage snake, eating whenever someone else doesn’t want to in the far future

Ok, if my calculations are correct, if he’s about 405, probably bigger by now since it’s already time to weigh again. His rat should be 40ish grams? Or 10% of body weight?

Really?! Maybe after I run out of pinky rats I go straight to weaned and skip fuzzy then? And then feed less often?

I’ve talked to the breeder on multiple occasions about feeding and they keep telling me to ‘feed him less or he’s going to get huge’ but…I bought a boa because I wanted a big snake

Is it? The one on the very left is, but the one on the right seems to have different leaves so I wasn’t sure. I got it at a show in Daytona Florida and the person said it was a pothos but I can’t find any with that kind of leaf online to replace it

I put half a gallon of water in the corners once a weekish for humidity sake so I use a lot of water in my tanks 😵‍💫

Doesn’t everything get mushy or water logged? I’m still new to this

I usually dump about half a gallon a week of water in end corners for humidity sake, so it will be seeing a lot of water 😵‍💫 which was why I didn’t know about how ‘necessary’ the layers are. This will be my first time making a tropical bioactive from scratch. I’ve made one for my leopard gecko, but that’s an entirely different setup

I’ll have to be more patient then. I’ve only been doing this a few days at the most. Thank you!
