Feeding Technique - Help Needed

[ckuhn003]

All you have to do is when you snake is coiled tight around the prey's body and hanging out of the enclosure is grab him and put him back in it, I have to do that quite often with females this time of the year and it's not an issue.

I chose to use my snake hook handle to lift him up rather then risk getting tagged and I guess this freaked him out enough to drop the prey.

As for retrieving a prey in your boas enclosure this is where a small hook to keep the animal away and a pair of snake tongs is necessary.

This is kind of what I did. I used the snake hook to boop him on the nose a little bit and make him retreat backwards while I created space to re-grab the mouse.
