Not BP related but yesterday at feeding time (and maybe this could have happened because I fed early in the day which I never do), my 6 month old boa struck and wrapped her frozen thawed rat fuzzy and remained in that position for 45 motionless minutes or more! Typically she swallows within minutes of strike and coil. I honestly thought she either knocked herself unconscious, broke her neck or fell asleep. I never saw anything like it. She remained motionless in that position. I was nervous so gave her a nudge with my hand and blew my breath into the enclosure. With that she sprung to life, and struck towards my hand - it was now obviously way warmer than the prey item. She then sniffed and nosed around at the fuzzy but retreated to her hide. So, I picked up the fuzzy with the tongs and offered it to her again in which she promptly struck wrapped and devoured in all of a few minutes. Really weird!
