I don't think age has anything to do with it, and people that use that as an excuse won't earn my respect. I've been keeping Boids since I was 14, bred my first Boa species at 15, and am now 19 and fairly well integrated into the boa world.



My concern is the issue that you killed an animal because it did not behave as you wanted it to or expected it to. One of my boas I have had since a baby was always extremely tame, in the last month she has turned into a demon and will strike and bite at anything. Should I kill her or sell her because she changed her attitude? No. I made a commitment when I got her, and I will not allow this change in her demeanor affect her future.
