out of control strike response
I have a 5 foot boa who has recently developed a serious strike response. When feeding she strikes so hard I'm afraid she may injure herself, and she lashes out every time I come near the cage. Once I get her out, She is fine. But she has learned to associate me with food and I'm wondering if anyone out there has any advice on how to get her to cool her jets abit before one of us gets hurt! I feed pre-killed mice wich I present directly to her with tongs. Thanks for any help. Tony.:grab:
