 Feeding

how often do juvinile and adult boa constrictors have to be fed?

 Feeding

juviniles are generally fed once a week, and adults can be fed about every two weeks. just be sure to offer the appropriate sized prey (diameter of the prey should be the diameter of the largest part of the boas body. if it’s the right size you shouldn’t see a large bump, but can tell that they have eaten).

i was just wondering because my collage sister might be getting one and she said it eats once a month but i thought that was a little rediculous for a healthy, captive one since i own snakes myself.i don’t think she got one though.

The bigger they are the less they feed but 10 days is probably the longest I leave mine.
