HI,
I have a special ritual I go thru to feed my Hog island she's a sweet snake but likes a little action on feeding day.
SO I usally thaw a couple med and toss them next to her and let her think about it for about an hour.
Then I return and tap her on the side with the rat head, she usally sniffs and tries to get my hand , hehehe
The we play a little tug -a-war and I caught her cheating today here's the evidence;.. Geeze I thought she was getting stronger..

this is where I started to loose my hand hold on the rat

I finally notice her tail was out of the cage and gripping the side,, jeeze the sneak. or is that snake

SO if your boa seems stronger than normal chek that tail they can cheat too.
