You can freeze the lizards to a- be stocked up with a never ending supply and b- to rid them of any parasite hazard. Your SI boa will do quite well on it's natural diet of lizards. Make sure they are thawed completely before feeding them to your snake. There is no need to excessively warm them as you would a rodent but slightly above room temp is good. If there is any part of the lizard internally frozen when you feed it to your snake, it can kill him so make certain it's thawed.

An alternative that he might go for ...frogs. African clawed frogs and dwarf frogs are good clean nontoxic feeder frogs. I can't make any such claims on your native Filipino frogs...I don't even know what frogs you have there. clawed and dwarf frogs are readily available here in the states at any aquatic petstore but again...no idea what you have in the Philippines.

As I mentioned earlier..the babies are tiny and hard to deal with. In the wild, their survival at birth hinges on the coinciding hatching of tiny little frogs. In captivity, most breeders that successfully raise them do so painstakingly on feeding them anole or skink tail tips and some times mouse tail tips and/or pinky mouse FEET. Not many people want to fool with that so most of what hits the pettrade are wildcaught adults and subadults. In the wild, their primary diet is frogs and lizards. It's what they have evolved/conditioned to hunt for and what they immediatly recognize as food whereas a rodent may not be.

Something else to try if you haven't already is to just leave the dead rodent in the cage near the hide, turn off the lights and go to bed. Check back in the morning. They are shy feeders and generally don't want to be disturbed when they eat. If you are trying to feed off tongs, you probably won't have much luck especially with food they are reluctant to eat in the first place.
