Hello everyone,
I live by myself and right now have a neonate male anerythristic boa. Supposing that he'll grow to a size of seven feet (give or take) would you say that this is a snake that will grow to be big and strong enough to pose a legitimate threat to a 20 year old guy? I'm alluding to the possability of the snake biting and throwing a coil around me for some reason (he appears, at this point, to be extremely "tame". I love handling my snakes and I'm just wondering if I should take steps to ensure that someone else is with me while I'm handling and feeding him as an adult. Thanks for your time and input,
_Wayne.
