Well hello again. Normally when doing this I will feed the boa live for a few times. Then I will try pre killed. The issue is the people who had him before me would just throw the live mouse in the cage and let the boa take it on its own. He does not strike right away. I'm afraid that if I don't follow this that he will not eat as he refused to eat live yesterday from the tongs. I had to leave the mouse in with him for a few hours. I kept checking every 15 min to half hour to make sure he was ok. I really don't want to leave the live mouse in the cage with him for an extended period of time like that. Normally when changing a snake from live to prekilled and then to frozen. I start to offer the mouse while it's in the death throws. And then slowly progress to offering it fully dead. But since this guy won't take from tongs what do you guys recommend?
