Boas tend to be more aggressive feeders than BPs. Expect a strike. No heat pits on Boas, but warming cannot hurt. I warm for Behira.
I always feed at night and in the “dark.” Obviously not pitch black because I wouldn’t be able to see. However, tank lights out and pretty dim room.
This means he won’t expect food with lights on and will be conditioned to be fed at night, when he naturally looks for food anyway.
I like conditioning the snakes to not expect food with the lights on, when I handle. However, up to you.
Some feed, like breeders, when it’s convenient for them. Also, if filming, pretty difficult to do in the dark.
