Keep it simple guys. If you are feeding a stable diet of " properly raised " mammals and or fowl, you need no supplements. ESPECIALLY none of what " whitneywee " was curious about. Mr. Pope " The intellectual " made a good point. Sugar and some of the additives in the things that " whitneywee " was talking about, would be VERY BAD for your boas. K.I.S.S. and the six month old should defectate by the end of next week and if not, just keep trying to soak it. Boas who are fed less, will defecate less frequently. When they are not having food shoved in their mouths every week, they can actually take the time to digest and absorb and utilize ALL the nutrients that its meal can give. I would not be overly concerned at this point. Last note; " The only time that I use supplements is when I occasionally feed store bought drumsticks and I use a formula of vitamins and minerals that is all natural and has no additives of any kind." Oddly enough, in 17yrs of keeping B.C.C. I have only started the drumstick deal in the last few months and the drumsticks with the supplement that I use, the animals seem to be more vibrant than ever and they eat it like candy. I boil them a few minutes and put the supplement under the fold of skin and they scarf them down. Anyway, kind of off topic, good luck with your boa.......GOD BLESS.......Johnson Herp
