Hey im new here and have a question

[Nathan]

I have a 4 month old common boa and also a 6 month old ball python and they both were eating f/t before I got them. My ball python took to eatin live really well and is now eating atleast 2 live hoppers each week or so, but my boa tried eating live fuzzies and he ate 2 but he seems to start swallowing them before they are are dead. I tried pulling on the tail a little bit hoping he would tighten up and kill it but he didn't seem to care. Is this normal or what?because my ball python strikes and wraps the mouse and sqeezes till it's surely dead, is my boa just not used to having to kill it's food or is the prey item too small?? Any thoughts would be appreciated thanks
