What is the diet of the Boa Constrictor?

Asked by Wiki User

Diet of a Boa ConstrictorBoas in the wild eat smaller rodents, birds, lizards, and some eat smaller snakes.

Boas as pets eat rats live or frozen/thawed (ingesting frozen rats or mice are fatal to any reptile).

In captivity, there's a variety of food to offer them: chicken, quail, pig, rabbit, Guinea pig, rats, and mice. Mice are reserved for babies and juveniles due to their small size, and Guinea pigs are only suitable as an occasional treat as they are very fatty. Pigs are only for the largest of boas (10'+), and probably are also not good as a staple, due to their fat. Rabbits and rats are the most popular choices.
