I'm still trying to set up my RTB's tank, and we recently cut up a big sturdy branch (which actually is more like a tree, lol) for her that I think she's gonna love once it's all treated and baked. I don't take her out of the tub she's in now for feeding (mostly because it's just paper towels on the bottom and it's easier than trying to muscle her out of it when there's rat-smell everywhere), but I was wondering...
1. Would a boa eat like an aboreal species, ie. if she was hanging out on her "tree", would she eat while she was up there? I'm curious because I think it would be hell to try and pull a 6 foot, 4 pound piece of muscle off of something she can grab on to.
2. Since I plan to use aspen, should I just do like I do with my BP and just put paper towels on one half of the tank so aspen doesn't get stuck all over the rat, put the rat there and just try and get her attention by wiggling it around?
I'm just not too sure how to approach the feeding issue with this. just curious on how you all would deal with this interesting problem.
We will never forget you...
