How to tell when a rat pup isnt enough?
Hey, hows everyone doing? so i've had my 5 month old dumerils boa on rat pups since i got her (been about a month and a half now)...and up until today her feeding commenced the same every week.....i put her in her feeding box, shed take the rat pup, stay coiled around it for 5-10 mins, then swallow it. while she eats i did my weekly full cage cleaning. take out any poo i may have missed during regular spot checks, stir up the subtrate a bit for her, wash her rock cave thing and her water dish- you get the point...
usually i would have more then enough time then dome to do all this and she would usually have just started eating.
i leave the lid on the box open a bit so i can peak in every once and a while to see how shes coming along....then today, i barely started cleaning everything and i went to look in and she was just swallowing the last of the tail....i was shocked, ive never had her eat that fast. so needless to say i have to rush like crazy to get everything done and put her back.
so i was wondering if maybe its time to move up from rat pups or was she maybe just really hungry today?
(i havent posted any photos of her in a while so i'll add some for you guys as well)
