Hello, I brought a rainbow boa home today and from the questions I have asked its a really healthy eater, 4.5 foot male. I am fairly new to keeping snakes though I have a lot of experience with other herps. I noticed when handling the snake that you could hear his breathing, like a low faint hissing almost and I was wondering if this could be a sign of stress, or resp probs or if this is just normal for boas after being moved around to a new home. Thanks. any advice or tips would be very greatly appreciated.
