I have used that same technique on premature reticulated pythons with success as well. I am sure even though you did not mention, you kept the neonate warm as well as moist/wet in the deli cup. I also nearly lost the floss the way you stated, moved faster than I thought it would!!!! That technique saved a few here and there more than once for me. Never bred boas yet though, just wanted to mention it works for egg layers as well.
