growing,wierd behaviour

Question
hi i bought my female albino boa about 6 weeks ago she is roughly 8 to 12 months old she feeds once a week on good sized food but shes not grown much shes about 2 ft long maybe a bit smaller,shes also never shed in the 6 weeks ive had her,and she acts wierd she moves her tail like a worm,rubs her body with her face and also goes threw her tail alot when she circles it just wondering if you could help thanks.

Answer
First off, what an excellent choice of snake! I love albino Boas, they are stunning looking animals.

Boas of that age wont shed very often at all, maybe once every 6-8 months, possibly longer. They also don't grow very quickly so noticeable growth will take far longer than 6 weeks.

Most of the behavior you are experiencing is perfectly normal. the only thing that seems a bit odd is the tail and the rubbing her body with her face. Its hard to say without a more detailed description or actually seeing the snake, but i wouldn't be too concerned about it. Keep an eye on her and unless any other strange behavior occurs, or the above gets more severe there is nothing to worry about.

Thanks for your question,

Andy
