A couple of questions

[kingsnakes]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows why my Red tail Boa doesnt hiss or show any threats of biting me when I handle her, but yet when out of her enclosure she spends a lot of time in the S shape, is this a strike pose or is this just normal, she does this everytime she is handled. She is 8 feet long and 8 years old and I was given the snake off a friend of a friend a week ago, he has had the snake since hatchling.

Also would I still be able to breed her at this age? she has never been bred before.

Thanks.

That's a good thing that she doesn't hiss or bite. Yes that's a normal position. She is perfect age for breeding, she's still young. They can and will live for 20 or 30 years with proper husbandry. Good luck with the breeding. If I were you, I'd do a ton of research first before you just jump into breeding her. She'll have a whack of babies, and they are alot of work.
Best of Luck
