Hello friends... My female Hog Island Boa turned 2 yrs old this month and currently is eating one f/t small rat every 7 days. I have read that when a boa is over a year old they can be fed every 14 days.

My question for you guys is should I cut back my girl to feeding every 14 days instead of 7 days? ALSO, if I cut back to feeding every 14 days, would I still feed her one small rat or one medium sized rat? I know that boa's in general have a slower metabolism, but I want her to stay at a healthy weight as well as I dont want her to be hungry.

Thank you for your suggestions!
