Thanks everyone. These breeders make it look so easy in these videos feeding a whole rack of snakes while it takes me forever to get my BP to eat while trying to pull out all the tricks in the book!
I mentioned needing to continue the heating techniques because of the lack of heat sensors on a BOA as compared to a BP. I’ll give the feeder a quick shot of the hair dryer and see what happens.
I’ll also try and find a small lamp to put in the quarantine room as to avoid turning on the main light. As to Daski’s point, I’d like to condition my BOA in knowing when it’s feeding vs handling time (hook training aside).
Well my King snakes would probably try and eat a FROZEN mouse but all the others ( Royals , Retic , Boas , Corn and Rat snakes ALL respond really well with the warmed up mice ( 10 second hairdryer blast ) ..
