Ok, maybe that was it because I had the closet light on and I was watching him just to be safe and the lid was open until he finished his meal just because I didnt want to disturb him by putting it back on and possibly freak him out. This was my first feeding experience with him or any boa in general so I wasnt 100% sure what to expect, but it was a little different than I thought I had read they usually are. Being a more outgoing snake I didnt think he would have much of a problem with me being there, plus his lack of a reaction to me dropping the mouse in really was unexpected. He had his head resting on his hide, his tongue was flicking some, but the mouse had to walk on top of his hide and look him in the eyes before he hit it, no hunting at all. After reading some cases on here of people having their boas practically jumping out of there tubs to get their food I was definately surprised by his lack of ambition.
