It's pretty sad to see people talking about testing vitamins and minerals on your pets without conducting real test other than "observations". Just because a human can consume a product without a negative affect does not mean your animal will have the same results. I'm not trying to be a jerk but how many boas in the wild consume Centrum? And have any of the previous people here actually properly observed a boa throughout its entire life? I'm not only talking about observing a boa for a couple years but its entire life? How can you make any type of diagnosis? Is the purpose to create a "super boa"? I don't understand. Is feeding it quality rodents not good enough? Too many people on here say they are in the hobby because they love the animals they work with yet make moves I don't understand. I would not give my son some type of medicine that has never been proven on humans yet worked on gorillas. Are rodents from a breeder like RodentPro not good enough; if so then I am a complete fool for feeding my boa food that lacks the NATURAL vitamins and minerals that they need to live a normal life. I may be a rookie when it comes to this hobby but it doesn’t take a 20 year veteran hobbyist to realize that you should not try something on your animal unless there have been clinical studies to determine the long term affects of any substance used. Feeding an animal a small dose does not make it right. Any creature can consume the deadliest poisons if the dose is small enough. I don’t think you mean your boas any harm but LETS BE REALISTIC, YOU ARE FEEDING YOUR BOA A PRODUCT THAT HAS NOT GONE THROUGH APPROPRIATE TESTING TO SEE IF IT HAS A TERMINAL EFFECT ON THAT SPECIFIC SPECIES.

I might just start taking PCP because it puts elephants to sleep, maybe I’ll be able to start sleeping well again.
