    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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!!
