If you want to feed larger meals to an adult, like a rabbit or Guinea Pig, feed every 5-6 weeks. Adults can eat 1-2 jumbo every 3-4 weeks depending on the size of prey. Large and Jumbo (up to 400G or so) feed every 3-4 weeks, 4 being better. Once on small rats, go to every 2 weeks one prey item. Boas are garbage disposals and will happily take F/T consistently. BCI's are less known for this, but the same rule applies. BCC's if fed too a big a meal can regurgitate and can often develop a condition where they will regorge often and can die. You want to leave a small bulge in babies and juveniles, but not more than a small bulge. Less is more with feeding, as you said.īabies eat 1X a week an appropriate sized rodent. As you said, leave her alone until she's had a 2-3 good feedings in her.ģ. Here is a link to a thread I made on hook training: Ģ. Always use tongs and I recommend hook training from day one. BCI's, and all Boas really, are aggressive feeders. Either way, I am not concerned as she's a total puppy dog.ġ. I would be surprised if she gets that big (8FT), but her momma was big, about 7 1/2 feet and her dad was about 5-5 1/2 feet. My female Ghost BCI, is 2 years old and just over 1K grams. A female at 7FT can easily weight 15-20 pounds, or more. A male at 5 feet should weigh about 6-10 pounds tops. 9ft with a BCC female I could see, but very doubtful for a BCI. Males are much smaller in Boas, including BCI's. I would not count on 9FT, that would be a rare female. BCC's, which get bigger, are almost always sold as BCC's and with the locality they are bred from.Ī female BCI, might get 8FT, eventually, but even that is large. I agree with KevinK completely on size, etc.
