I totally understand that boas digest differently then balls. And as adults should be fed less frequently then bps. But my buddy who I go to for boa advice has always preached to me every 5 days for the first 6 months to a year. He has also had boas that live long happy lives. My question is, has there been any studies done that show either positive or adverse effects to doing so? It seems like there are people on both sides of the fence.
