It can be quitre scary to have a large boa actually hissing at you. I have a 11 footer that was in the middle of a shed once and wanted to be left alone......WOW she could hiss LOUD. Other than that one incident she is always a sweetheart, never minds being picked up and handled. She has gone to many shows and been handled by dozens of people. I have handled her during shed before and never before or since has she gotten hissy on me. Just leave yours alone for a couple of days and see how it goes. Just keep an eye on her/him. Also, let this be the warning to you, never go into a cage distracted, ALWAYS watch the animals reaction to your entering it's space. When asked if a snake bites, I always answer that anything with a mouth can bite.
