As you know I have a couple young "females I think" Columbian, One is a sweetheart but the other is hell on earth. I try to hold her but have to keep one hand just behind her head to avoid getting a million little holes in me. I don’t like holding her this way and she really doesn’t seem to like it but what can you do? How long should I expect it to take for her to calm down enough not to nail me? Is it possible like Leopard Geckos there is something wrong with her and she will never tame down? I handle her 3 days a week for 30 minutes each time "Common practice Boa Handling Days" However she just doesn’t seem to be liking people at all. Every time I hold her I think keeping a firm grip behind her head will do nothing but piss her off more but again what can you do? Any help is greatly appreciated.
