Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Rabbit size?
Ok so I have a huge normal female she around 9ft weighs 52 pounds. Was thinking of switch her to rabbits as she eats the biggest rats I can get every three week and they seem like just a snack lol. Thanks for any opinions you have.

9 ft and 52 lbs? I haven't seen a BCI that big in a long time. The weight sounds a little high (when I kept them, burms were only around 30 lbs at 9 ft)...I know one of those big boas I'd seen was said to be #50; but I don't think they'd actually weighed him. Still, I'd probably think more along the lines of maintenance rather than increasing the prey size. There's nothing wrong with feeding rabbits if you have a reliable source with good prices; though.

Yes I agree I just got her. I plan too feed monthly but wasn't sure if I should stick with rats or put her on rabbits? Will one jumbo rat monthly suffice?

I've fed rabbits before to my largest boas (7-8ft), I have no idea how much they weigh, maybe 15-20lbs as a guess? I fed one small rabbit, this was years ago, I'm sorry I don't recall the weight, maybe 1lb size? About the size of 2-3 jumbo rats put together. That one rabbit would make them swell huge and they'd be good for 1-1/2 - 2 months. I never found a good supplier, the prices I paid were very high, so I switched back to rats. Now they get 2 jumbos every month or so.

Thanks April for your input. I think I will just stick with rats as well. I've been digging around and two jumbo rats are still cheaper than one rabbit of. Ok comparable size.
