Keep your eyes peeled for any signs of an RI though...

Thank you for the info! He is my first boa. I will keep a close eye on him for the next few days. I was surprized when he struck the vine cuz he has never missed, might have been abit my fault because I was making the rat do a nice dance for him, guess I must have moved it the second he was ready to strike. Again, thanks, and info helps and is appreciated!!

All seems well as of tonite. Hes chilling in his cool side hide with his head hanging out like usual.
