    keep the boiga tight in your hand 1 inche behind the head it allow the snake to bite freely ..then irritate the boiga with the smallest pinky by pushing on his head with it...
    The snake will bite furiously or will chew the pinky ,the boiga will taste it.for the first two meal you should put snake shed on pinky head like helmet or kill a lezard or whatever ...i sacrifice a babie garter with anomalies..keep the boiga in your hand until he eat it completely or partialy..a few meal like that and you boiga will eat without problem..
    its not force fed .the snake eatit by himself...
    Be patient ,you should keep only the one who eat the first ...or its hell .
    Yeah, I've had some snakes that required similar patience to get feeding. I have many somewhat difficult species feeding well on rodents in captivity- and the biggest thing it took was patience. That and lots of scenting.
