    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'd move it down to a large rat every three weeks for a while, just to let her system level out, then a large rat every two weeks until she grows with lean mass.

:iagree:

also I'm not seeing snow, but a pale albino. She really needs to go on a diet. Also are you sure it's a female? the tail looks a little long
 
First thought is she is WAY FAT!! If she continues to go the way she is she may not make breeding season. Take all the advise given to you and slow it down. It
is only going to save the snakes life. At the fat ratio she is now there is a very slim chance she would even be able to ovulate.(been there done it in my rookie years) I would even cut her back a bit more to once a month. She has enough fat supply on her to last her for 6 months. Once she has time to turn the fat into muscle you will see her start to grow. She needs to get the loaf of bread appearance [] not ( )
As far as a snow,sorry she is not she has too much red.(my opinion only)
you need to know the genetics or try to breed her to prove other wise.

Take care of that girl and slim her down.

I would have to agree with most everyone here, that girl is way over weight. My female(s) eat once a month, period. As far as size, I have a female that is estimated to be 4 years old, maybe 5ft long, she eats medium rats, once a month. My biggest girl, she is 7 years old, in between 6-7ft and she eats large rats. Col. rats were not meant for boas in my opinion, but more for burms, rocks etc. My advise, forget breeding for now, get her healthy. Slow her intake down slowly, I am not sure what could happen, but taking a girl that big and making her quit eating like a cow cold turkey might not be good for her. Maybe feed her a small rat every in 2 weeks, then another in 2 weeks, then maybe switch to a medium rat every 3 weeks and so on. Best of luck!
 
Is she a snow? Looks like it to me, but it could be a washer out albino also, can be hard to tell when just looking at pictures.
