Since I'm always up at god awful hours, I tend to feed my nocturnal snakes around 2 am. Well I was getting tired and I needed to go to work the next day so I started feeding my snakes thinking "Oh yeah this will be real quick." This was the first time I witnessed my rainbow boa eating (the one that had giardia). I put him on some newspaper on the floor to eat because he's too large for his enclosure (getting a larger one within the next couple of days). Everyone else was already eating and done by the time this guy decided the freshly thawed rat was good enough for him. It took him thirty minutes to smell every inch of that rat, decide exactly the best place to start, and drag it to the corner of the newspaper. 
It then took him another thirty minutes to finish eating. I'm happy he's eating now but come on! I guess I'm just used to my king downing a mouse in under a minute
