Hello and thanks for reading. Just a quick question for this group on how they feed their boas? I have roughly 9 month old growing boy. When I feed him on his coco husk bedding I lay a paper towel down and then dangle a ft mouse around until he comes out and nails it. The problem is recently he has been getting a little bit food mood whenever I open the tank. I have hooked trained him but that doesn’t always work as last night he nailed me when I took him out, 1st time bitten. Didn’t hurt and was only for second.
I was wondering if I should just drop the mouse in there and have him grab it on his own from now on. I’m just wondering if me reaching my hand in there when I feed him and dangeling the mouse is making him associate my moving hand as food? Any tips would be great. I do take him out couple times per week. Thanks
