The BCI I had for many years, well it was hard to even open her cage to feed her, as she already knew it was coming & was "loaded for bear". That's why they make 18-24" feeding tongs (hemostats), you really NEED them. Feeding a larger boa is not for the faint of heart.
Sounds like my Duncan...I use 12” hemastats for the small snakes, but purchased 18” hemastats years ago to use for my Bci. At 7’ long, she is impressive in feed mode. Even after over 15 years of eating f/t she still strikes and wraps as if it were alive.
