In my experiance, I think Boas are loopy, but the first question is do you feed the boa in its cage. My retic does that to me everytime I walk by for the first time. Nothing will scare you until you hear it hit the glass. Although its not safe for the snake, could break its jaw. Back to the Boa though. My Boa also use to be very calm and then went off feed for awhile then started eating again. But now if I hold her for a few mintues she will bite me. On another side note she always looks like she is going to strike though and always had, just their defense.

I think they can tell when we are jumpy to and that scares them.
