You gave him the rat in his enclosure, then moved him into a feeding tub while he was coiled around the rat?

The first time I fed him in there, yes :/ not sure what I was thinking. I could've stressed him out so badly. I thought it would help..

Question! How often to feed? He is 1808g so I wanted to know to increase my chances of an easy feed

Once a week is fine for feeding. I feed my 1064g pied girl a small rat once a week. My boas get feed once a week until they are 1.5 years old, then they go to every 2-3 weeks.

Have you fed him before? What did you feed him size wise? Live or f/t? If you have fed him before has his environment changed? What are his temps and humidity?

Yes we did. We started in a container because that's how the rescuer was doing it but he mentioned it didn't work well. I deducted that he must be cage fed and he was eating steadily for a month. Started on mice and worked up to medium rats. This go around he didn't take. He is a live feeder. Not much change. We added a new fake vine and he really likes to use it as cover when he wanders in his cage. Humidity is at 50% since there is no shedding and temp is 80° ambient.
