Eating me out of house & home

[Vv_SoulTaker]

Hello, I am new to the forum. I have an 8 yr. Old Dumerils Boa 7 ½’ & 6 ½” in girth whom is my best friend. He is concerning me lately though. I use to feed him 1 jumbo rat a week now he is up to 2 a week and anytime you go near his home he looks at you like he is going to eat you! I can’t even go into give him water with out being on my toes. Should I be feeding him something different? He is eating the biggest rats I ever seen. Maybe time for rabbits? I am by no means rich (he must think I am) but $15 a week for him is a lot. I can’t bread my own for smell reasons. Help a guy out here. And if I am to change his diet are there any tricks you can enlighten me on?
Thank you much.
PS any one in AZ have a Female Dumerils? My male is beautiful and would give awesome offspring! Let me know!
