Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Taramahara boa mix
I just picked up a pair of taramahara mix male is leopard stripe 100% het albino and the female is 100% het albino and leopard. They will be a year in September. My question is what should feeding schedule be if I hope to breed, I don't want to power feed them but I also would like them to be up to weight the soonest possible.

For feeding treat them as any other BCI. Up to a year old I feed every 7-10 days. For juveniles I take their age, add one, and feed that interval in weeks (so a one year old eats every two weeks, a two year old eats every three weeks, etc).
Once they reach adulthood feed monthly. The hard part is in not giving them a feeder that's too large, it's all too easy to think of them as being young/still growing due to their diminutive size.
I have 1.2 2013's and I don't plan to start pairing them until the 2017 season, when they have all passed four years old. I know some people breed their boas younger than that but I prefer that mine be fully mature. Unlike ball pythons weight/size isn't as much of a limiter as age is, and power feeding a boa just makes it fat and shortens its life.

Thank you!! I don't want to power feed as the male is an amazing animal and I can't wait to see him as an adult. Feeding seems about right I was leaning to feeding every 7 days but did not know how much when they get older.
This is my first pair of boas, I have only kept ball pythons.
Super excited to see them as they get older!!
