Obligatory "Not a BP but" I usually feed my sand boa in an upturned hide, but on one occasion when he was lurking with his face just at the surface of the aspen, he snatched the mouse as it swung by on the tongs, and backed so fast into the hole that he took several pieces of substrate with him. If he ingested any of it with the mouse, it didn't do him any harm. I thought it was really cool to see him eating the way he would have done in the wild. Usually he's so clueless that I have to redirect him, sometimes several times, to the task at hand. I thought for a while that I was overfeeding him but since he acts the same way whether it's a couple of weeks or a month since the last mouse, I finally decided it was just his personality. Sweet, but dim, lol.
