    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

What/Who is your biggest and oldest Boa?

Nah, I mean those big fat ones intended for frying. :thumbsup:

Idk kinda looks like one chicks leg lmnao ok now I have heard of people feeding whole chicken but not parts lol
 
That was abig freaking chicken.

Mine is Kora I got her as a baby in 07 first snake I ever kept. Shes about 6- 6 1/2 ft and I could barely guess her weight to u. She has this nice orange pattern that looks like someone did a water color painting on her belly. Shes technically a normal but with how she looked as a baby Id say there is nuthin normal about her!

Actually she just ate a guinea pig a few days before that pic. Thats why she looks all round and fat. But ive let her get empty and she still has the nice square body a boa should have. I thought for a moment there I was over doing it and would have to put her on a diet. If she does prove out to be nuthin more than a normal, then shes the prettiest dam one Ive seen!
 
I agree! You can always try chicken lol actually if Rich ever gets back on here, I wanna know the reasoning behind it. Snack? Or just a varying diet? I asked about switching my boas diet around. Birds are natural prey in the wild, so I don't see why it would be bad. Now my curiosity feelers are running rampant! Damn it, I'm a Leo, Rich! I'm a big ass curious kitty! LOL
 
I think the only negative thing was a boa can get set on one food item, say something expensive, and not want to eat rats anymore.
 
Cant say I've seen that! my boas will try to eat ur arm if they dont relize ur attached to it! U should seen when I put that stunned guinea pig in there. I havent seen her act like that in years. See, she got use to dead rats and would just lazily take them. Half the time not even wrapping. Took out the main thing that spark my snake intrest. But that gp brought out a dormant beast that lay in wait! "What the hell is that!?!?!" is all I heard from my neighbors, and then I closed the garage door. A couple days later I was holding her and she was happy as could be!
 
Had them around, and just figured I'd try it out one day, see how she acted. My Hog Island girl will eat them too, but the rest are still a tad small for those big ol legs.

I do it once in a while, just to vary her diet a little. I do prefer whole chicken for the more complete nutrition package, but they aren't always available in the right size.

I believe in a varied diet though. Never had a problem with them taking to one item and refusing others either. Although I have experienced that birds seem to wake a problem feeder up. For some reason, even a problem feeder seems to think birds are the frosting on the cake. :shrug01:
