I was holding my 6' BCI in my backyard, talking to my wife. Half the snake was over my left shoulder while I cradled the heavy half in front of me (yeah, I know 10 lbs ain't heavy.) Anyway, for a split second I FORGOT I was holding a boa and swatted at a beetle or whatever was landing on the back of my neck. Smacked the snake right on the head pretty hard. Instantly I froze-waiting to get bit. Never happened. WHAT A GOOD GIRL! She has never bit me but if ever I deserved it it was then.

This is exactly the reason why beetles should not exist lol. But that deffinitly shows you have a VERY docile snake, wich is good. Because at 6' a bite would be a bit painfulll.

You better hope she doesn't hold grudges. (Kidding)...
I've never done that, but I have walked by doorways and had their heads smack into the walls because they were stretching out and I forgot about them as well...

The boa gives you a look like, "I know corn snakes that are smarter than you." LOL!
