She likes my face... maybe too much.

[Niten]

Between my hands she feels at home but a couple of times she clearly aimed to my face ready to strike, she's a baby now and it was easy to manage but when she'll be 3 mt long she will get what she likes when she likes... the first time I just put her back in (she followed my face until the last second), the second time I risked and got her closer to me, to let her verify there was nothing to hunt there. She calmed down quickly and took a nice trip on my glasses...
The first time I had just taken her out of an unconsidered hiding place I immediately removed later, the seller recommended not to provide her with a lair as she could become too much territorial and aggressive even if anywhere on the internet they recommend the exact contrary. She had eaten a mouse 2 days before.
The second time she had been exploring my hands, my clothes and my neck for a while, when she found herself comfortable in one hand laying at a distance of 30 cm from my face while my head was resting on the pillow she switched to attack position. Last day before feeding.

ps: we are talking about a female baby boa I brought home 5 days ago, being my first snake I've made a lot of mistakes for sure... I worked a lot to her terrarium and handled her every day, maybe she's just a litte stressed...
