Argentine Boas....Anyone know much about them?? Experiance?

downhillbikin Feb 15, 2006 08:19 PM

I bought an Argentine at the Chicago show in Oct and was just wondering what people experiances with them have been like. I've read that they can be ill tempered when young, but can be one of the most docile boas when older. Is this true? Mine will hiss and strike ( but not bite ) if I reach in and pet him, but once I pick him up he's totally fine. When I try to put him down he grips my hand and tries to climb back up my arm. He's about 5 months old now. Thanks.
