What if, we can train our boa to eat beef as a suppliment to rodents. I saw it on the Discovery Chanel, that in India the feed their captive cobra on a diet of beef and cow's heart. It will be much cheaper and easyer to obtain beef then rodent. What do you think? Should we give it a try or just stick with our rodents?

i think it would be fairly difficult to replicate the nutriens and minnerals like calcium that come from parts of the rodent such as the bones and liver. i remember back a few years ago they had some sort of sausages for feedings snakes. i find it prety easy to find and use frozen rodents so im not so sure how big the fad would catch on if in fact it was a healthy substitute.
