I was cleaning the snake cages today and got a little help. So we decided to take a couple pics.

pretty pics and tell your son hes very brave...kids are sometimes scared to death of snakes! i am glad to see hes one of the ones that like them..you can tell wiht that big grin on his face! mom never let me handle snakes out here in oklahoma when i was little except those bright green grass snakes you find! we have too many copperheads, watermoccosins and rattlers out here to mess with snakes when you are little. but now i have my first boa and i am sooo happy with it! congrats on your little helper

Cute pics! Hate to be a buzzkill but have to point out that snakes, specially Boids should not be allowed around anyones neck, specially a child. It is a bad habit many herpers have that could lead to serious incidents. A startled snake around a childs neck can become an instant chokehold. Most folks fail to realize how strong a snake really is until it is constricted around them. Anyhow around the neck is a total NO NO in this Herpers opinion. The shows that I attend do not allow folks to place any snakes around anyones necks. There was a huge issue at a Canadian show involving a young girl & a cornsnake that never would have happened if the snake was not allowed around her neck. Its a very bad practice anyway & can pose serious risk. Anyone that thinks otherwise has obvisouly not had an otherwise harmless snake constrict them before. I have had a 5 ft Python constrict my arm to the point it was purple before & it was all I could muster to remove it from my arm. I'm 6'2" 230lb BTW, I have had other snake breeder friends have the same issues with similar sized snakes as well. Like I said hate to be a buzz kill, but snakes around necks are a very bad idea. Speaking from experiences, Mark
