How funny. Well it's good to know that it isn't uncommon.Originally Posted by Bogertophis
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.I enjoy how unique each individual is.
My pied is my fastest, most accurate eater. My crystal...is an enthusiastic, clumsy dumpster. And my sand boa will literally just start consuming the rodent if it's placed in front of her face. This one here, he does his half-hearted constriction, then drags/thrashes it around the tub.
He's still pretty active/restless-I haven't seen him settle into a hide in days. If he isn't moving, he's out and lounging with his head on his hide, as my others do when waiting for food.
