Sooo true! I have always fed my snakes in another tub, and that worked great for most. But my BCI has a crazy feeding response compared to my BPs. My Dum does as well, though my BCI is just a bit feistier around feeding time. I can't hardly open the lid before she's after me. Lol! So for her, I gave in and got some feeding tongs. Even when they are completely blind from being in the blue, they still go for it immediately! I LOVE my boas. So much personality, so inquisitive, and SO much more fun to hold. I still love my BPs, and they still receive great care and lots of love. But, the boas seem to enjoy the love bit a little more. Lol. I have my BCI on my shoulders as I type and she's been there for about an hour and could really care less. I adore my boas! They were, hands down, the best decision I ever made.

Boa all the way!
