Just pointing out that there are worse fates for a rodent than being fed to a boa.

I just rescued an 8 foot Argentine Boa.

In their native habitat, they are nearly gone.

Something like 90% of extant Argentine Boas exist only in the collections of herpers.

holy crap! all twenty-five are boas? I had about a three foot long black snake slither up on my porch the other day. scared the living hellions out of me. Me and snakes can’t peacefully co-exist in my space. He moved on and I hid inside. About three months ago my pest control guy was spraying for termites around the slab of my house and he pulled out a maybe 3 1/2 or 4 foot long white snake from some shrubs, he said it was a king snake or corn snake. I don’t really remember because I was too busy running back inside the house. I paused only long enough to snap a picture of it with my cell phone so I could say look what was in my flower garden and see that same look of horror on other peoples’ faces that was likely on mine. Saw him through the window carrying it to the creek behind my house. With my snake luck, the snake probably crawled right back to his favorite space. One day I will return to that flower garden but right now it is Jumanji land. I just subscribe to that theory that snakes may not always hurt you but they can definitely make you hurt yourself. We have coyotes, vultures, eagles, snakes, possums, racoons, foxes, ducks, deer and we live right in the middle of damn downtown. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

I am not sure if a snake can manage the fish ladders for the shad to get past the Conowingo Dam that stands athwart the Susquehanna River 8 miles from the head of the Chesapeake.
