I have trouble getting my male rubber boa to eat. I have seen him eat a couple times though. However, multiple times he has started eating the thawed pinky mouse, had it in his mouth a little bit, and then stopped eating it. It wasn't like he ate it and then regurged it... He wouldn't even have half the mouse is his mouth before he would spit it back out... He has done this several times now. Any idea why?
