RifRaf eating a jurassic gecko. These gecko's are supplied live from the local village boys who deliver them alive in Flora tubs. They are then frozen for storage, and fed to the boas after thawing to room temperature. We always hand feed them and they mostly behave. RifRaf does like them better when served on a gossip magazine. Preferably one with bikinis being critiqued.
