    Really depends on the size of your boa, locality etc, but at 3 normally classed as an adult, normally a medium - large rat every 3-4 week's

    Re: bci feeding

    What has it been eating?

    Hows it body condition? Lean, heavy, etc?

    Any pictures?

    As a general guideline my adult boas get a f/t rat or rabbit feeder that is about 2/3 of their girth once a month. During the winter months they get a feeder half that size.
