I wanted to get a smaller boa ssp. to work with and decided on some Nics because I really like the colors, was told they had great dispositions and the price was affordable. I ended up with 11 of them. They are 04's and 05's. They were kind of feisty when newborns, like many babies are, and as they mature they have grown bigger and nastier. When taken from their cage they huff and puff and get tense and defensive and eventually they will chomp on me if I give them any oportunity. Several years ago I had a group of Hogg Islands that I eventually got rid of for the same reason. Just no damn fun to work with! I'm looking for under 7' and no holes in my hands or face. I got a group of these hoping to select 2.2 for color and disposition but I am ready to part with all of them about now. Any suggestions from those of you who have had more experience than I? Keep'em, let'em get a little older and see, or think about another form (suggestions?) Thanks for the help!
