Re: Dumeril's Boa Weight Data
Very nice records thanks for sharing them and starting this thread!
Anyone reading and thinking about getting a Dum, they are great snakes and please keep some records and come back here and share the records!
My records fell off in the end because I stopped recording them and now I really wish I did, I still kept weighing her but never wrote it down :-(
She really seems to be making some real steady gains so I plan on starting back up on my record and come back to add some updates to this thread as time passes. I'm hoping to chart her growth from where she is at now as of 12/27/14 which is 1487grams (3.27 Lbs) till she hits 10 lbs weight. Should be a pretty big girl by that time!
Here are my records from the other thread.
This was pretty much on a 6-7 day feeding schedule the entire time, I will add the feedings below as well.
Born November 2013
Weights
1/30/14 133 grams
3/28/14 263 grams
4/6/14. 304 grams
4/25/14. 320 grams
5/22/14. 445 grams
8/21/14. 828 grams
Begining of December 2014 right about 1300 grams.
Some other notes to go alone with that that I have to share are,
5/20/14 switched from rat pups to weaned.
6/21/14 switched from weaned to small adults (my smalls are 50-65 grams that I get typically).
And now I just switched her over to mediums which are weighing in at 95 grams from the ones I've weighed and that's why she is going to 10 day feedings for me now as well
