Well, I myself just got a little boy boa from Jimi, and when I just fed him for the first time last week he just seemed.. Uninterested. It was a F/T fuzzt rat (or "rat pup" as the store owner called it). He took a strike at it and coiled around it- then left it... So after a few minuted, I took the tongs and pushed it right up close to him, within just a few cm infromt of his face, and closed the lid (I feed out of the cage, in boxes). A few minutes later, I opened the lid to see him just finnishing up

So I've just came to the conclusion that despite only being with me for only two weeks, hes already spoiled enough to make me bring the food in close enough so that h doesnt have to work for it lol
