Fiji Snake's Smorgasboard
Fiji Boas in the wild feed on geckos and other small reptiles when young, and move on to rodents, birds and fruit bats when older. We don't have a reliable source of rodents, so we looked for other ways to supplement their diets now that they are outgrowing the geckos we catch around the house.
They start feeding by taking a gecko or two, and then we follow up as they are just finishing the gecko with a chicken heart or pieces of chicken breast. Since we have started doing this they are putting on weight much more quickly than on geckos alone.
