he's about 5 months old.. i got him to eat frozen rats from live mice. his set-up is fine and his eating shows this 
. there is even a black curtain in front of his viraium so that when i am awake till early morning his lights hours still remian unchanged ( neon tube inside cage with timer). i have this setup with most of my snakes. less pleasure for me but better environment for them and thats what counts. ball and boas are noctural anyway so u don;t see them in light.
anyway. he eats a rat hopper every 7 to 10 days but is hungry after just 2 days. the hoppers are larger then full grown mice so i guess they are fine. i don't want to retard his groth cos i think that once full grown he'll eat very little. i had a male kings eating only 4 times a year when full grown and still be healthy and mate.
should i keep feeding as i am? feed not less then every week? more rats?
