I simply cannot believe that a boa would go out of it's way to watch t.v. Can they even see well enough to be aware of it without smelling it?

Aparently they can see that well as she always stares at it even if she has to hold her hed up to look over something.

I have two T-pos girls in my bedroom. They are on the same wall as my bed and the TV is on the opposite wall. On my nights off, I sometimes stay up late, watching TV. Often, I can look over and they will both be up at the window/door peeking out. I think they enjoy the changing lights from the TV. They will do that for hours sometimes. They look pretty cute with their heads up or propped up on their water bowls, which are next to the door, watching the TV.

I don't know if they can, but I think they can make out figures on the t.v. Whenever I'm watching a documentary about animals or something with dull colored cars is when she's most interested. They might look like rats to her. It might just be that I only check if she's looking when something resembles a rat though. I know that she can make out the shapes from near by because she once bit the t.v. Her teeth were all fine but I'm not letting her get too close anymore.
Anyway, a boa watching t.v. is a pretty funny sight. I think a few people who dislike snakes would change their minds a bit if they saw it.

I got an e-mail from her this morning that said "stop on the way home and pick up a gallon of milk and a jumbo rat and some cheesy poofs"

OK I made up the part about the cheesy poofs.

Seriously though, she will watch the computer screen if there is movement.
