well, i can tell you about mine. she? is a soloman island gound boa paulsoni and 2-3 years old. mine is only like as think as a persons index finger maybe. i feed her f/t hoppers. she too can be fisty and jumpy at times. i had her out once and was just holding her when she suddenly gave me a bite but let go. they have LOTS of sharp teeth in there! but it didn't break skin. she doesn't like anything waving around her face/head. plus she was about to shed so that probably had something to do with it.

she sometimes has her moments when she wants to bite me when i reach in for her but i pick her up anyways. she has a great feeding response so that is probably why. i feed her in her cage. i do all mine. i also make sure i handle them between feedings so they don't get the idea everytime hands come in its food.

what was yours eating before? best to find out and feed her that. i've read these things can be hard to feed sometimes but mine has eaten every time i offered her food. i live in a warm climate, arizona, so i just have a light on her tank for day time heat on a timer. thats it. she is doing great. although i want to move her from the 10 gallon she is in to something bigger. she wasn't very big when i got her last year and the guy told me she was a 2 year old. they are very small little boas.
i don't know anything else. i just have 7 snakes. all pets. my biggest is a jungle python 7 foot long. then 4 corns and a tangerine milk snake.
