Now that's why I want a Rosy. I think a docile boa I can handle is what I want. Putting individual personalities aside, it is, after all, a reptile with a very small brain that can be instilled with a conditioned reflex such as the reaction to feeding time. I think if I take a naturally docile species, such as the rosy as opposed to say a carpet python and always wash my hands and be sure to use a snake hook to remove it from the cage each time and with frequent handling, it should be just fine. Thanks, David.
