Hi! I've been on a very strict protocol with feeding my 300 gram dwarf boa, as I know its better to grow them slowly. Yesterday my husband was feeding our BP, trying to switch him over to a smallish/medium adult f/t rat after he got a live mouse. Since he didn't take it, my husband thought it was a great idea to dingle the rat in front of my boa, thinking that she wouldn't take it since it was so large. Well she did take it. I got extremely mad at him, he tried to take it from her, even trade it out for a smaller one but she wouldn't have it. So she ate it... hoping that she will be ok!!? This was yesterday afternoon and she seems OK, just very FAT and finally went to her heat pad which she is on now. Thinking om going to have to wait to feed her for at least 3 weeks if she doesn't regurgitate?
Any advice or words of wisdom would be appreciated... i definitely scolded my husband for it, can't believe he did that
