Yes, boas often change shades. They have dark and light phases they'll switch between daily, it's not a cause for worry. I've found they'll darken up quite reliably after a meal, potentially to help them soak up those sun rays while they have a full belly (in the wild).

Usually darker phase in the day or while digesting, lighter at night.

I think that she is about six Month old but what do you think.

Seems a good size for a 6 month dwarf. Boas don't really grow all that fast (or I should say shouldn't grow all that fast). As long as you're feeding her appropriately, she has good body tone, and she's shedding regularly, I wouldn't worry about her size.

Not had her that long yet so no shed but she is on fuzzies, she takes them very easy and I don't want to move her up yet. I an mot breeding so reh can grow at her speed.Thanks bigsnakegirl
