Update on Nasty new Boa

Pithons Apr 10, 2010 09:29 PM

As you may have read last week, there was a thread I started after recieving an overly aggressive boa from a bigger name breeder. There was a bunch of replies with a bunch of advice and I want to thank all who gave insite. Well, since that mad man has been here, he did calm down a little bit. He stopped striking at the glass when I walk by. I held him a bit tonight and he didnt even try to bite me, just when I put him back in his cage he puffed up. He is always agresive, but I can read him and still pick him up without him striking, tho he will get puffy. I can tell he is gonna calm down adventually but when hes ready. I still wont say he is 'handible' yet, but will soon be there. He has taken a couple of small meals.
