    And you will notice a massive jump in size when prepping for breeding.

    I coudlnt imagine using the 15% rule on adult females, 100-300g rats yea NO THANKS. Most adult boas only need a 300g rat weekly, a ball python :rolleye2::rolleye2:

    I agree with what a lot of what's been said.

    The way I've figured it is, that I trust my snake. If he's hungry, he'll eat. As long as I don't force him to eat, and he takes it, then no worries.

    If he doesn't want to eat, then my snapper gets a treat.
