I have some questions about my Longicauda

She is 200 gm

I'll weigh my little one tomarrow and she where she is at

Thanks,

DANG!! she is bigger then I thought,
She is an 07 and around 3ft,pretty nice color for near 5 yr old



she is in the bowl

She is gorgeous!!! Wait, is she 869 or 236 gm?

I love her iridescence. I can't wait until my baby gets her color change.

So what size food do you feed her and how often?

236 is the empty weight,869 is loaded/netting 633 grams total mass
She is fed small rat prey every 3-4 weeks
My camera is on its last leg,the pics are washed out pretty good.
In true light her color is much more dense,especially her belly
which is awesome.

She's a beauty! (to you both..... )

I am also in favour of not over feeding - I think too many people think that bigger is automatically better. In my opinion a largish food animal once a month should be plenty.

I have a different boa species kept in their natural temperatures with all the annual variations as in the wild. They take fairly small food animals (as I don't have access to large ones) every 2 or 3 weeks in summer, and go off feed every winter for 2 or 3 months.

From this I'd extrapolate that once a month or less is about equivalent to a "feed in summer, starve in winter" cycle.

beautiful animals where did you all pick them up from. I have been on the prowl for some nice true longicauda with some great lineage behind them.
