    Prey size for new Boa

    SO my breeder is know for purposely slow growing (not over feeding) their RT boas. In their experience this has produced much healthier snakes in the long run. Currently, my new 2012 RTB is 145 grams and they were feeding mouse hoppers (I like to feed rats and have a large supply). Can I use the 10%-15% rule like I do on my younger BPs?

    If so, would you suggest a bigger rat fuzzy or a smaller rat pup? My rat fuzzies are running roughly 10g-20g (average about 15g so that would be around 10%) and my rat pups are running roughly 21g-30g (averaging 25 grams so that would be on the high end of the 15%)...

    Thanks ahead of time.
