Also, most boas can still be satisfied with rats alone, you don't necessarily have to do rabbits, just feed multiple rats when she outgrows the largest size
Oh, thank god. I was thinking if she got to be a good size that I would have to feed her rabbits! Rabbits are expensive little suckers! You would think that there are so many of them that they would be a bit cheaper.

So I can just feed her rats? Right now I have some rats that I bred that I plan on growing into jumbos for this snake. How many would I have to give her a week to satisfy her if she got to a pretty good size?

Thanks for the info, really helps!
