I have a 12 year old female boa that I have had all of her life. Before about 6 years ago, she was the tames thing you ever did see. Only thing is I moved out of my mom's house 6 years ago and left her there. My mom and step-father said that they would feed her while I was looking for another place to live. I did find another place to live, but the landlord wouldn't allow a snake. Since my fiance and I were desperate to find a place to live and get out of her mom's house after we just had a baby, we took the apartment. So my parents again said that they would feed her, as long as I came by to clean her enclosure. We lived 2 hours away and I didn't go by nearly as much as I should have, but we didn't always have the funds to make the trip. Finally, we have gotten our own house and I have my Boa back, but she has become very pissy. She is food agressive and when you take her out of the cage she will hiss, but I have never given her the chance to bite us. I have control of her head at all times.



What I would like to know is, can she be tamed back to the way she was? When I say tame, I guess what I mean is tolerant of being held. Or you can say tame if you like. She would sit in my lap for hours and never would hiss. How can I get her back to her old self or some resemblance of her old self? Any tips on how to do this?
