Not a Boa,but kinda cool.Observation that rates somewhere between utterly insignificant

and earth-shattering concerning these little guys.This baby was hand removed from the egg a few hours ago.He had used up all of the yolk and there was no need for it to remain in the egg.There is an incredible difference(at least initially) in the temperment of those that are hand removed from the egg(you just take small scissors and cut the egg shell totally away from the snake.This is done after all of the blood vessels have dried up),and those that leave the egg on their own.

Those that are removed are as docile as baby Boas and can be handled freely(once again initially)without a strike.The others are hell on wheels.

That is a great insight Tim. Thanks for sharing. Make sure you have some normals and greens in a couple of years ok.
