I never got into giants because of the responsibility and respect required for these animals and the fact that you NEED to have someone else there to help if you're going to keep these snakes responsibly. Large boas were therefore my limit, and even then for the larger individuals I would make sure someone else was home. I used to powerlift and those numbers you stated are lower than mine were when I was in my late teens...Even though you're strong and you think you're going to be strong enough if something happens, it literally means nothing when you have a pissed off adult retic latched on and wrapping you. Vinegar would be like a condiment. This has been brought up before by you. My opinion would be to either find someone who will help you on a daily basis, or keep a more appropriate species that doesn't require at least another person helping during the day to day activities. Doing anything else is simply irresponsible and puts the keeping of large snakes at risk because if something were to happen, both you and the hobby would pay for the mistake. Sorry if that's not what you want to hear...but you literally asked for it.

Nothing will work 100% of the time if they're hungry. It's all condiments. You're just adding to taste haha.

You've mentioned your strength in another thread and that you thought it would suffice for handling giants before is what I meant. No harm done, though.
