I've never had her miss (knock wood), but she did make me drop one during this feeding, which I REFUSED to grab again until she had her mouth occupied with another rodent. I'm not THAT crazy to stick my hand between a hungry boa's strike range and a rodent. I plan on getting tongs soon, mostly for sanitary and feeding ease. Plus better control of the prey, my Ball misses all the time 'cause holding mice by the tail makes them swing.

As for the prey size, she's getting 4 large mice for the moment, as I have yet to order F/T rats. Anyone know a good place to get those from?
