Re: Solomon island ground boas not eating
Your boas are famous for only eating lizards or rodents that have been scented with lizards (that means rubbing a lizard on the head of the mouse so the mouse smells like lizard).
Anoles are a good choice if you can find a small enough one. I would not cut one in half. Mediterranean geckos and mourning geckos are also good choices.
I would find a small gecko to feed the snake. When it gets big enough for the smallest mice then I would rub a lizard on the mice and see if you can get the snake to eat mice. Eventually the snake may not require lizard scent.
It might be a good idea to get several mourning geckos to keep as feeders in the short term. They are parthenogenic, which means they are all female and reproduce without needing a mate.
