Randy, I am surprised that someone as knowledgable as yourself could so easily forget that the listerine trees grow in most areas where boas can be found, and that while most constrictor enthusiasts believe that boas are strictly carnivores, in actuallity they do feast on the berrys of the listerine tree at monthly intervals,and can often be seen munching the fruit twice a month in breeding season!
I have personally attempted to give a boa mouth to mouth after a pinky pump accident, and although the mouth was covered in rat gut juice, I don't think it was any more dirty than some of the "ladies" I have met at local bars. I did use listerine for myself after that, but I do that anytime my mouth comes in contact with something funky...either immediately after, or when I see her in the morning at the first touch of sobering light.
