    Next time I'll think twice..

    I thought getting Kaliya out, with me in the bathroom, while I was doing my hair
    She was wandering slowly, I was keeping a close eye on her
    But now she has found a nice cosy spot where we hang our towels
    And she got so strong I can't get her back
    So afraid of hurting her or she biting me
    Guess I'll have to wait..

    Lol that's hilarious. Try reaching up from under and tickling her stomach while trying to slide her down more into the center. Then you can try working her off while still tickling any exposed stomach. Seems snakes don't like their stomach tickled and for me at least, it causing mine to arch up alittle on the spot im tickling. When I first saw the pic, I thought the snake was sitting on a fluorescent light fixture with 2 tubes

    Tickling did the trick !
    I knew she was ticklish (sort of) but never thought it would be so helpful in such cases
    Thanks for the idea !

    I had my little female ball get partially inside my leather rocker/recliner - took my eyes off her for a few minutes and she was halfway gone. I had my wife push down on the seat cushion so that I could get my hands further up her body to gently take out. I learned my lesson there! And then one night I had her out and let her crawl up our wrought iron railing on our stairway. She stopped halfway up and decided that she was staying put - amazing how much leverage the little buggar has!

    Lol np. Glad it worked. I have used that trick on my big boa sometimes when she decides to go under her cage table and wrap up in the legs.

    Wait until you have to wrestle a 6' boa who is being stubborn and decides she likes to sit under a table wrapped up in the table legs. That's when it comes time for the "tickle and unwind" method

    Nice trick Sauzo! I will remember that one.

    I have found my 5' Boa much stronger and stubborn than my 4', 12 yr old Ball.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
