The rule is that we NEVER handle our animals for 24 hours after they eat. It seems to be the only handling rules that we really have. I have noticed that the more we handle our animals as neonates/babies the calmer and easier temperment they seem to have as adults, ALTHOUGH we do have several animals that no matter how much we handle them they just dont like to be out of their cage. Those few animals are just handled with more respect when we do have to take them out and Steve and I just know that they get stressed when out of their enviroment and we handle them with more care then others. It just takes time to determine which type of boa you have. I have to say out of our entire collection we really only have two that are edge when taken out. Hoep this information helps you!

Good luck with your new adventure!

Sincerely,
Rose Aguilar
