I must say that Rosy Boas are some of the weirdest snakes out there when it comes to feeding! Mine constantly writhe and roll around with their prey while consuming. I wouldn't say that they're trying to constrict because it looks like very little force is being exerted. They just constantly spin around and twist and turn the whole time when eating - it's really bizarre. All my Rosies do it though.
Anyway, here are a couple of pics of my female Kofa Mountains who managed to tie herself in a knot while doing her little feeding dance! She ended up having to drop the mouse, untie herself, and then resume eating...
Any other Rosy keepers observe this behaviour?
Cheers,
Ryan
