Feeding my BRB
I have a fairly new Brazilian Rainbow Boa and have some questions about feeding him. I have been doing what the dude at the pet store said, 1 pinkie(tiny pinkie lol) every 4 days, he's 3 months old and about...a little more than a foot. He's swallowing it fairly quickly and the food is no longer visible after about 12 hours...should I upsize?

Re: Feeding my BRB
Definetely! You're probably slightly underfeeding the snake by now. I would upto fuzzies by your description. With a pic and something in it for size reference we could better help you.

Re: Feeding my BRB
i might even go alittle bit bigger, a boa will get big fast and the bigger the food the longer you can go without feeding

Re: Feeding my BRB
He might be able to take a couple fuzzies in a single feeding. Or you could try a small hopper. If he can't eat it, he'll just stop trying.

Re: Feeding my BRB
Chase don't laugh or mock. He listened to the pet store and after realizing it doesn't quite look like enough food he came here to ask and learn something. He was being a cautious owner.

Re: Feeding my BRB
Well good to know since I used "he" in my last post.
Yah the snake looks much too big for pinkies, especially tiny ones. New snake owners don't always know when to switch up.
