How much food does a boa constrictor eat a day?

Answer 1

Young boas consume an average of a mouse per week. As the boa's size increases, so does the size of the meal--or the number of animals consumed in one meal. For adult boas, one meal every 7-10 days is usually sufficient. However, if you observe your snake searching around the cage in less than 7 days you can consider feeding it more often or feeding it a little larger meal. Avoid making too large of a jump in the size of your boa's meal, however. as it will regurgitate its food if the meal is too large to digest. It is also a good idea to let your boa "rest" for a couple of days after eating. That is, handle your boa less and avoid moving it around or startling it. Finally, snakes grow at different rates so you need to adjust the size and frequency of meals to your own snakes rate of growth.

When they are smaller, it's best to feed a boa constrictor every week or two. However, as they get larger, it will be necessary only to feed them once or twice a month.
