well once again this is my opinion

ways that work for me if it is a pet boa rules to the game

1) boas have a very strong feeding response so i recommend that you never feed them in their cage for the first two years you dont want them thinking your hand is a food source lmao

2)when you get the new loved baby wait a week to get use to the new digs and use to the routine you set aka water food etc do not handle the baby at this time could cause stress

3) once the acclimation period is done then handle it for a 1/2 hour a day for a couple of days remember babies can be nippy at times and slowly ad more time after it gets use to being handled

4) after time has progressed and your snake had recognized each other for pets i always take the time to handle them at lease 4 to five times a week. even my breeders are started off this way

5)boa's are a different reptile than anything Ive ever delt with but the rewards of a loving and well acclimated boa are above and beyond most snakes my lil motley female actually comes to me to be held when i open her tub which is one of those you got to see to believe things lmao and like you said every boa / snake has its own personality but they are very predictable once you learn the body language







this is my opinion and some will argue it but this is what works for me and trust me when i say i am terrorized by the thought of getting bit lmao and i can honestly say none of my boas have bit me yet but i have been striked at but that was my stupidity





Ray

have fun
