I have some questions about my Longicauda

First of all, is she too thin? I have fed her conservatively as I was told that was what to do with them since they are slow growers. However, she is so sleek and slender I thought I would ask and see if I'm feeding her too conservatively.

Second, what size tote should she be in? I know it's hard to tell true size in pictures, but maybe the picture of her in my hand will make a good reference.

Finally, I was under the impression that this is a smaller boa, but someone posted on another site that they have one that is over 11 feet!!! Was I misinformed and they do get this big??? If that's the case then I'm in trouble because I convinced my husband they were on the smaller side and so he begrudgingly gave in. I thought I did ample research before I got her, but now I'm second guessing myself. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Looks like she's very well-fleshed to me, Ronda. As for size of container, I would think that she would do well with either a blanket box (28 qt) or a 41qt at that size.

I would do a 41qt or cb70 and he will be good for life.

Longicauda usually get 4-6ft in length. All mine have been 4-5ft

She is just over a year old (I assume you were referring to my girl?). She is fed an appropriately sized rat every 14 days.
