my local shop finally got some big food items in so got giblet a rooster to eat instead of multiple large rats.
huge meal an took him 3 1/2 hours to get it down, not looking forward to whats going to come out the other end haha
he came flying out the viv before i had chance to get it through the door
gently moved him back into the viv once he had started eating
half way down, still amazes me how much they can stretch themselves to eat a big meal
the lump this morning an one fat happy burm

| Fantastic. Great photos. Tell me, since we feed the royals a food item that is no more than the snake's bodywidth, is that rule different for burms? Just curious. |

Yes different with burms,retics,afrocks ect as their much bigger snakes something the same with as their widest part isnt quite enough.
With much bigger meals you have a longer time between feeds, this will do giblet for 2-3 weeks ish |

It was a little large but managed ok so will just give him a bit longer before the next feed.
With boas i feed something as thick as their thickest part an that leaves a nice lump.
Weekly when young then fortnightly ish when adult.
My boa william is around 7ft and gets an xl rat or 2 small rats every 2 weeks ish but sometimes i offer a smaller or lager meal |
