As long as you don't clean the tub right before offering food again, it should be ok...I'd be inclined to guide him into a little closed (dark) box while he waits- ie. keep
things low-key.
I've seen rosy boas pin rodents against the wall...even f/t ones that I've jiggled. My rosy (I only have one now) is fed f/t but is a slow-eater...I often feed late evening
& don't feel like waiting up longer, so since mine usually takes 2 small adult mice, I get her to grab one, then as she's working on it, I'll tickle her mid-section with the
other f/t mouse & she'll "hold" (press) that one too, & finish both eventually.![]()
