I feed my boas once a week. I breed rats and usually prefer to feed my snakes rats... but, I have noticed in some of my 06 babys that they do have a harder time digesting them. I have an albino female that will puke up a rat everytime I try to feed her one. But she'll hold down a mouse just fine. I have another that will sometimes get a little constipated on the rats. So for those, I feed mice, and then no more constipation. I feel that a lot of it has to do with the internal natural make up of that individual animal. Feel it out and see what works best for you and your snake.
