Thanks for the advice, I tried leaving a f/t chick and f/t small rat in his cage over night with towels draped over most the enclosures front for privacy, still not luck :< I even plucked feathers from the quail and stuffed them in the rats mouth and under the chicks wing ect. He just cruised around in his cage all night, not bothered by the food at all. So I'm going to try a live adult mouse tonight and if that doesn't work I'll brain it and leave it in the cage overnight and see what he does. Should I put him in a smaller space with the brained mouse? Plastic container with breath holes and lid taped down? At the very least my Boa is fat and happy :D

Here is a pic of him eating a live chick, I know he'll eat something at least, just don't know where to find live chicks now. I don't imagine you can get hatched live chicks shipped from anywhere in the USA at this time of year.
