I have a female suri that I would have to leave alone with a thawed rat overnight the first few times I fed her, and now she whips the suckers right off the tongs with the quickness. I hope this is the case with yours, good luck with her.

Thanks! I hope this is the case too.
There's a prekilled rattie in there as we speak. My fingers are crossed. If she doesn't eat it overnight, she's going in a rubbermaid and i'll try throwing a p/k rattie in there in a weeks time.

YAAAAAY!!! SHE FINALLY ATE!!!
I came down this morning totally 100% expecting to see (and smell) a dead rattie still in there with her. I couldn't believe it, the rat was nowhere to be found and she had a big lump in her. : ) It instantly made my day. Thank you so much EVERYONE for all of your help. It is greatly appreciated.

Good to hear that she finally ate. A lot of boas prefer to eat in privacy despite their reputation for being eating machines. I've had both, the ones that go into a frenzy and my big girl now who won't eat if i am in the room.

HI,
I am relieved she ate for you, I would run a stool by a vet to be sure she dosen't have any extra parsites from previous feeding many will make a snake go off feeding.
I keep my BCC +2 deg a little warmer than my BCI its a personal thing and it may not be required.
My BCC are less hungry than my BCI I have tried to increase frequency but they have settled in at a little longer cycle.
Good luck.
Hope she's stays well
