Shamefully, I have been tricked by my dumeril's boa. He was laying sprawled out, as is one of his new habits. He didn't respond to moving his tub, he didn't respond to opening his tub, he didn't respond to the presence of my hand. Was he ok? Was he dead? So, I touched his face. MISTAKE. For a second he still didn't respond - then before I knew it, one juvenile constrictor was attached to my hand and attempting to pull himself up to coil it. He ambushed me!
Well, he was easily dislodged and it barely hurt, but someone is getting hook trained. He clearly thinks it serves me right for waiting EIGHT whole days to feed him and will happily do it again.
