yeah, like i was saying, the only real reason i picked up them up was to put them in the feeding bin, which i now realize, was completely useless, especially when dealing with boa's.
for some reason, when i first starting posting here, i had seen a bunch of posts about how some people fed in separate bins, which i guess may work for some species, like my ball python, Hannibal, doesn't know or care where he is around feeding, just as long as he's fed. He is always completely and totally calm. The boa, however, is a different story completely.

clapton (and everyone else)....i definately know what you mean about how boa's get excited while they are eating. its actually really, really cool to see. Attila is generally very calm during the week, but come feeding time, he is just all primed up before and even more so after.

this past week, i fed Attila in his cage, and i will continue to do so from now on for sure....
