There's no need to reinforce the snake's natural instinct to feed on live prey by 'dancing' the rat/mouse around. If you only own one boa, leave the dead rat/mouse in the cage overnight...It will most likely be gone in the morning. He will probably be less likely to bite if he gets used to his food not moving.
