hi!
I have a bunch of pics at http://www.zoestevens.com in boas. She is perfectly handleable, as the pictures in the "pics" section portray.
She is a little flightly when I don't handle for a while, but usually calms down straight away an NEVER strikes or hisses.

The ones I've worked with are relatively well mannered. I'd say 80% were easy to handle, with 10% being fairly agro and 10% just a bit unpredictable. Hehehe...anyone says they are all nice, well a friend of mine has an 8' male named "Bitey" :D The female in my personal collection just looks like she is gonna eat me, but she has never even struck. However, talk to her previous owner, Matt K...lol :p Guess she tagged him nearly everytime he opened the cage, she was even trying to bite him through the bag when he packed her up to bring her to me :p Some snakes just like some people/sexes though. My male BCC was apparently not an agressive animal, well he is downright the nastiest guy in my collection, I cannot release my hold on the back of his head or he just repeatedly strikes at my face (he's never once tried to bite me anywhere else! :rolleyes: ). He's gotten a little too big for that BS though so I just stick to restraint now :rolleyes: Anyways, here's pics of my girl...

Gorgeous boa...I recently sold one that was quite dark for a columbian. I wish I had pictures but I don't :(

However he was probably the best tempered snake I have ever seen. He had this thing where he always hissed like mad but NEVER bit. I think he did it just to get me going...keep me on my toes or something. I mean, I could kiss this guy on the face and he would just flick his tongue. Great snakes...

here is my girl. she is just 6 feet and about 2 and a half years of age.

she is awesome, loves to be held, i have alot of trouble trying to get her back in her cage, she would rather be out and about.
never tried to bite anyone.

My boa is the sweetest, most gentle creature next to my giant corn snake. I love boas for their (generally!) calm demeanor.

Hey i have a boa, but unfortunately i dont have any pics :eek: i wish i had pics, but no camera >( anyways a little bout my boa, the TAMEST THING I HAVE EVER HAD!! Never missed or refused a meal well, it kinda missed a meal once (because it couldnt find the rat in its enclosure) and to my surprise is quite active! It also likes to roam around my room and does the ocassional "breakouts" but whener it does breakout i can always find it on top of a big box in my room, even if the door is opened it always heads for the box :confused: lol



Thanks,
Ben
