Thanks Deron! I do try really hard to do my homework for both me and the animal. I am not new to snakes, but yes I will agree I am a little out there with the request the "hang out" with a large constrictor. I kind of collect snakes. I have about 6 right now and what I was after with a conda just wasn't going to happen. I have much experience with Boas and recently stepped up to my first retic! (FYI Awesome snake!). I spend a LOT of time with my snakes when I am home they are usually either on my shoulder, or near by. My retic , and all my boas have no problem coming out and finding a warm spot next to me on the couch for a few hours. That being said I have never been biten outside of the cage.. Who hasn't made a feeding mistake once or twice.. lol.



So Deron and I decided it was best for me to hold off on the condas for a few more years until we are able to calm them down a little more through the generations of captive breeding, or I decide to buy a green beauty and just cant enjoy the relaxed handling I do now with my boas and tic.



Thanks all!



SNAKES RULE!
