Turns out the guy I got her from NEVER held her, so that would probably be why she is so aggressive. She is in a ball rack (41Q tub) at chest level with me (6'0) I made plans to make a melamine unit on the floor that I would stack the ball rack on top of. I am aware that the ball bin is way too small, but she fits in it well right now. After a few meals it will be too small..Anyways, I took her out to get the left over shed off of her about an hour ago. She was hard to get out, but I noticed that once she is in my arms she is tame. I laid her down in the tub while I was removing my watch and bracelet, I reached down to pick her up so that I could start the water, and she swung around and got me good.....My first snake bite EVER and it was from a (big to me) boa. I was shocked that it didn't hurt as much as I always thought they would. My hand was bleeding pretty good, but it really didn't hurt that much....huh...Well, I have plans to give her to my next door neighbor who has two other boas....(red tail and motley)...He laughed at me and said that he would be happy to take her, so she will be close and well taken care of. I would normally keep her and work with her, but I am a big baby when it comes to aggressive snakes. Thats why I only deal with balls.....be gentile while making fun of me as I know some of you will, I mean what else is there to do after you get bit but laugh. Sorry for the long post, and thank you for the help with this and my previous post (NEBWIE....sorta).
