Bolivians are my favorite Boa. You don't want to feed him/her live mice. You can use a stunned mouse, but the problem is that they may eat it without constricting first and still get bitten.

Use dead mice, it may take it a while to actually eat, not all boas eat immediately. Some can be shy when young, it may take a few hours.

I got a pair a year ago. They were both very sweet and docile, but they wouldn't eat dead either. Leave the dead mouse in the cage for a while. If it doesn't eat in a couple of hours prod the mouse or move it. (Don't use your hand).
