Boas will NOT eat as much as you give them

[Sauzo]

You can,t overfeed a ball python. I got my male BP just a month before i got my BCI. He was 3 years old. I was totally a beginner when i got him and i did overfeed him. As a result he stopped eating 8 months and started after that to eat again. I am beginning to believe that you can,t overfeed any snake in normal ways. My dumerils boa ate last time before 3 weeks. I offered him a rat yesterday and he does not want to eat. I guess his body does not require food now and he knows it. My BCI showed no interest in that rat again. So i,m going to give him a two weeks pause before i feed him again. So they know if their bodies require food or not

Or.....you are giving them so much food, they simply dont want it lol. BPs, i can understand although Dottie hasnt quit eating for the winter yet and just ate a medium rat last night.

As for your BCI and dumerils, not sure why yours quit refused food(actually i do, you overfeed) but my dumerils and all my BCIs never refuse a meal. Everyone actually ate last night. And met me tell you, it was an exciting night as i almost got tagged by Caesar as he came flying out for his guinea pig and the baby boas shot out like bullets.

And basically your boa and dumerils are probably trying to save their own lives as they know you are trying to kill them with too much food.

And now you have a dumerils AND a BP? You said in your post earlier, when you got your boa, you had no knowledge of snake care and that was 18 months ago assuming you got the boa when it was born which you said you did. So in that 18 months of research, you didnt see any correlation between dumerils care sheets and BCI care sheets both stating you shouldnt feed either snake lots of food? And you didnt find a common denominator among all the research that boas and dumerils dont need to be stuffed like Thanksgiving turkeys?

I think i also read somewhere you said you had a GTP? What is going to be the next surprise you pull out lol? With that many snakes, i am floored you still havent figured out the proper care for them....
