You did a good job of telling him how your boa sits and cuddles while enjoying a movie with you. Does he prefer horror movies or romance? I think there was enough good answers and explanations of whats realistic and whats not, but when someone says something to the OP that doesn't make a grain of sense, are we supposed to let it slide and have him read it and take it seriously because if we responded we would be going off topic?

Also, sometimes the question is from someone with less understanding about the behavior or husbandry, and it may be required to go away from the original question in order to help the OP form a more reasonable/realistic question.

Example:

-Person 1- Hi, I found an eastern brown snake and I would like to pick it up with my hands to remove it. Do you think its ok?

-Person 2- Just make sure you ask him politely before hand and everything will be fine.

-Person 3- Snakes don't speak english so you can't ask him that. If you do it you may die.

-Person 2- Please don't go off topic about whether or not snakes speak english,
the OP didn't ask about that.

Of course snakes don't speak English, they speak parseltongue
