My Boa didn snatch the food from the tongs… whats wrong?

Boas can be tough to feed sometimes. A lot of the time they don’t feel secure enough to eat with someone watching, mostly because they won’t know if you’re a predator or a friendly being. When they are eating, they have no other form of defense, so they can get scared to eat with someone watching. If this happens, simply set the rat down in an enclosed area (offering it to a Boa while he/she is their hide is a good idea) and leave your Boa alone for a few hours. DON’T PEEK! If you peek at them while they’re trying to eat, they might stop and it might scare them too much to eat the rat. You can leave the rat in there up to 12 hours if you want. If they don’t take it after that, dispose of the rat and try next week.
