Nippy young boa

[asphyxia]

Hi,

Although I have a few herps I am not fimilar to a boa this young

Any suggestions on "Training" my new Boa (Born June 17 02)
as she is quite hissy when I first try to handle pick her up.

How long should give her to settle in to the new cage?

Are they similar to a dog.. for example do not let them think they are the boss? and pick her up if I started to even at the expence of getting bit

Lastly, how much is it going to hurt when I get bit from her?


Thanks
Regards
Brian
