Re: I dropped my retic and he landed pretty hard, should I be concerned
Everyone handles their snakes in a different way. I have a 7 foot boa that is docile as a kitten. I can have her draped over my shoulders all day and she will not even make an attempt to constrict because she knows I am her owner. If I respect them, they respect me. I'm not an idiot. I know snakes can't be domesticated. But that doesn't mean I won't handle them. As for the retic goes, when I got him he had a bad attitude. Constantly striking whenever I walked past his cage, but since I have been handling him he has calmed down alot. I like showing my snakes off to people. I don't hide them. My neighbor has a 12 foot anaconda and he always has it in the yard. Even with kids around. We are not afraid. We are very cautious and know the risks. I dropped my retic, it was an accident. Accidents happen. Big deal. He is doing fine. And I'll probably let him out in the yard again, but I will be more careful next time.
