Try feeding outside of his/her enclosure. I feed my boas inside plastic containers. I never feed them in their enclosures, that way they eventually realize that when the enclosure opens food is not coming in. Once I place them in their tubs they know it's feeding time. I have not had any attempted bites since I started using this method.
