Well wild Boas are wild Boas... They have to free range to get their own food... Do you think they are lean by choice?
You know those anorexic supermodels... Yeah not healthy!!! A girl with some extra 10 lbs looks better and is healthier... All extremes are bad.
My breeding adult female Boas take two XL rats every two weeks...
Males on the other hand they eat every two weeks still, but they only take 1/2 the meal a breeding female takes...
My adult Boas do not get huge lumps after a meal... Its more, you can hardy notice they have eaten...
I guess I am in the middle of the road... Every two weeks a moderate meal... NOT a big meal every week, and NOT an extreme meal once a month either...
It does make sense that energy to digest could be used for growth... I guess a good size rabbit takes 2 weeks to digest... A couple rats takes a less than a 1 week...
Do you guys also reduce the temperatures to slow down metabolism?
