Amazon Tree Boa feeding help
Its been almost 2 weeks since my boa last fed which was a week before i bought her at a reptile expo. They fed her live mice but i dont have means to continuelly but them so i feed my snakes frozen except she wont eat and im worried she might die if she doesnt eat soon. What can i do
Re: Amazon Tree Boa feeding help
2 options, keep trying thawed or feed live...I would feed live until you get the animal eating, then try to convert to thawed...

Im going to try and feed it a lizard since those are their natural prey items. I mean one that i buy from petsmart of course. But i dont know where i can get live feeder mice and i dont have the means to keep them let alone keep them alive
Re: Amazon Tree Boa feeding help
2 weeks isn't anything to worry about. Was she advertised as wild caught or captive bred? Most of the ATBs you see around are WC, so I might also be skeptical about her eating with them, unless you know and trust the people you bought her from. Have you tried braining a small pinky? I've also heard of dipping the pink in tuna juice has worked. I would check out www.amazon-alliance.com as well for some help with this, or to just show off your new ammie! Good luck and keep us posted.
