Well for one it is documented that gravid boas in the wild tend to be rather small and much skinnier than most captive bred boas. They have also found that adult boas do grow more when not feeding as there slow metabolism allows there body to take there stored energy and use that to produce muscle mass, which is the most important thing when breeding an adult boa. Vin Russon once stated that a suitable sized rabbit once a month will be more than enough for an adult boa of almost any species for its entire life. I need someone else to jump in here as I cannot get my fingers to type what my brain is thinking, lol.
