Hi i was just wondering what is the best way to get a lean female boa i am currently feeding my female boa a small rat every 2 weeks and she is about 2" thick, 1 1/2 years old also just over 3ft.

just try and judge when she is hungry mate. my growing on boas I feed up during summer months and they may become slightly fatty then during colder months cut feeding down and they lean up whilst maintaining good size

I let my 2 biggest roam up and down the stairs from time to time, they love it and they also come out a few times a week for a crawl around my bed - as do my younger ones. Another good excercise is a luke warm bath so they can swim about to use all that muscle. Although this isn't too helpful for bigger boas that hardly fit in a bath! :gasp:
