What Do You Feed Your Adults
I know the standard is guinea pigs, rabbits, and large rats. But what else is on the menu for you guys?
Just curious as to what other options there are.

Otherwise, that's it. I know they will readily take poultry (turkey legs/chicken) but it will make for a possibly runny poo so just be aware.
Not sure what other options there would be, especially of anything readily available and affordable.
They do just fine on rats for life.
This makes me feel better. I am sure she'll eat anything I throw in her cage but I've only ever fed mine mice and rats.

Rats work fine for me. I've fed a couple smaller rabbits before just to try it but that's it. stay away from guinea pigs if you wanna keep your boa for a long time

100% Agree with this.
The standard is NOT Guinea Pigs.
Way too much fat in them.
Stick with the prey items Sauzo posted and also avoid XL rats. If you need to go bigger than XL rat, move to a rabbit of the equivalent weight.
More muscle, more bone, less fat.

Guinea pigs and rats over XL go to the pythons, though they'll also take rabbits, quail, and chickens.
That's a great schedule IMO!
Those boas will live very long lives.
