A 10' boa is much bigger than a 10' anaconda, from my experience. There are plenty of snakes I can handle at 10'-11', but retics are always suspect. Snakes can kill you accidently, and not want you for food. Then again, the size of the keeper is also a factor. If you're 5'5" and 120lbs....be very careful. I'm 6'5", 220, and I never trusted my 12' Papuan Olives. I always wore a thick glove, still do on my 10-11' Aussie Olives.

LOL...size DOES matter.
