I've seen posts like this here before but I haven't seen anyone post actual lab reports from a necropsy as proof showing the feeder rat was the cause of death. You must have one since you are making the claim so please post it.

Personally I can't see a certain type of rat affecting boas in such a bad way but then be ok for other kinds of snakes. I would think if it killed one kind, it would kill many others. Snakes just aren't built that way. I would bet most boas die as a result of (gasp) keeper error.

So please post lab reports (ON THE SNAKES NOT THE RATS) so I can learn from them. Thanks
