I have boas miss strikes sometimes and I drop the rat and they basically sit on it like you are describing. Usually you are fine to walk away at that point, the boa will stop looking for you/tracking you and eventually find the rat and eat it. just fyi
glad it all worked out well

Re: Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI
I'm glad she ate for you Dave. I agree with April. They'll eventually find the dropped rat and eat. With some large snakes drop feeding is actually easier and safer. I learned the hard way trying to retrieve a dropped mouse to re-offer from tongs and promptly got tagged by my BCO. It's good that she's still small. I definitely wouldn't want to make that mistake with a really big snake.

Thank you for the safety tip!
I was worried about her not eating. However, she is a BOA!

. Yeah, she holds on pretty tight, but not too tight.
When she was falling asleep on my arm, it was just enough so she wouldn't fall.
I think she's shedding fairly soon as well, but not sure. She really has deeper coloration and contrast in the natural light.
When I see pictures of her, more than when I hold her, I am noticing how much thicker she's getting, especially her tail and head. Neither look like baby boa anymore. Her tail is really thickening out. Her head is getting that boa rigid look to it, not the baby face she used to have.
