Pics coming soon/boa feeding tales
Oh man! I don't have a digital camera but will borrow one for pictures. The little darlings are quite beautiful. I am trying to fatten up my Guyanan boy. He is about 3-1/2 feet long and eating small adult rats pre-killed. I gave him a rather large one. As usual, he did not strike at it but moseyed up to it for about 10 minutes and slowly opened his mouth around the snout. It took him an hour to eat it. Afterward I put him in his cage and he did not move for a long time. I thought maybe he was dead. I hope it is not too big for him. The rat's head was a little bigger than his and its body a little plumper than his. Any suggestions on size of prey and frequency of feedings? He is eating every 10 days to 2 weeks.
Thanks for all the warm welcomes!
