and probably not in your best interest to feed it live prey items in your hand. it may be fun now, but when the boa is seven feet long and accidently strikes you in the face it won't be so cute.



the best advice I can give you is to SLOW DOWN! by feeding that boa that much food you are just asking to have it regurge, which will cause you big time problems and could easily lead to the death of such a young boa. I'm truely surprized that it hasn't regurgitated already with that amount of food in it, it might still regurgitate in a few days though. you shouldn't be feeding multiple prey items per week, or more than one prey item per feeding. all you are doing by feeding him so much is shortening his life span and lessening your chances of keeping him alive into adulthood. one prey item about the same with as the thickest part of his body per week or every 10 days is what you should be feeding him at that age
