Was it me Jeremy, I wouldn't increase her intake. If she ain't growing any faster with that generous diet you mentioned above, then she ain't going to. Pretty foolish to try and make it happen.
I know boas used to get bigger, and you still can see one occasionally but not like they used to be back in the day. And concerning my female, I wasn't necessarily going to try and "bulk" her up for this fall, just keep her feeding consistent. In fact, I may decide to lengthen her feeding a little more if she is going to take f/t XL rats. I was considering a 14-21 day period. My albino male is who really needs bulked up, he is skinny, I am getting some of that Pro-biotic you mentioned in another thread to help condition his insides.
