Re: Baby red tail boa behavior

Yes, young ones can be quite awkward when handling. Make sure to support his entire body as much as possible, especially allowing him a place to anchor his tail.

My big jungle girl is also like this, but I think that has more to do with the fact she doesn't want to be on me than it is about awkwardness. AFAIK she grew up only knowing one person, so she's a little nervous around me but hasn't gotten defensive thus far. She's been handled often, just not by a lot of different people.

Lol, alright. Thanks! It's so cute how they always wrap their tail around something.
