Boas for sale make great pets! Not only are they unique, but they’re also fun to have. A question many novice snake owners ask is whether their pet boas for sale should eat live or frozen prey. The biggest misconception is that captive pet boas will only eat live prey. The thought behind that is wild boas eat live prey, so why wouldn’t captive-bred bred boas for sale? Eating live prey might be more natural for a wild animal, but the boas for sale you buy from online pet stores were never wild to begin with.
It’s better if you feed your pet boa frozen-thawed prey. It’s much safer for the snake and less traumatic on the prey item. If the boa isn’t hungry, it won’t eat the food and that is the end of that. This way you don’t risk another live animal in your snake’s enclosure. When left unattended, the other small animal could become stressed and attack the snake. Or they might fight back during a feeding and can cause minor injuries to your boa. An animal’s teeth and claws can damage the area near the snake’s mouth, eyes can get punctured and more. You are responsible for the well-being and health of your pets and that means feeding them properly. It’s actually better to feed pet boas for sale frozen prey that’s been thawed and warmed a bit.
All Boa Morphs Can Be Fed Frozen Prey

When looking at different boa morphs, research if they eat small, medium or large rodents so that you know what sort of food to buy them. But you might also be able to convert a non-rodent eating snake into eating mice and rats.
