I just got a red tail male last week. He just shed and I am going to attempt to feed him a f/t medium rat tonight. He was previously eating live and I hope I can easily convert him to f/t. Does anyone have any tips on making the transition to f/t rats easy? I have heard that boas are garbage disposals and I am hoping that this is indeed true, lol. He is about six feet long and can handle a medium rat pretty easily judging by his girth. How often should I feed this guy? I don't want to over feed him. I know this is not quite like keeping a ball python at all. Any advice is appreciated. I will post pics once he has had a meal and has had time to digest.
