I used to feed my boas every week. Felt that I was starving them if I made them go 2 weeks without food. Then Rick (Richard Carew) gave me some good advice. Took me a while to quit feeling bad for the hungry boas, and I think it took them getting used to it, too...I took a couple of bites when they were "overdue"! lol
But since I've gone to feeding them about every 3 weeks ("about" because sometimes I'll feed them within 14 days, but sometimes--rarely--it's a full month between appropriately sized rats) they've become more active, slimmed down a little bit, and still continue to grow. Lower food-costs and less poop to scoop are both nice bonuses!!
