Ok so a few days ago I was feeding my boa he's about 3ft and I bought him in January at a reptile show well everything was going ok with him and the other day I fed him when he was done I went to put him away like I normally do well for some reason I got nervous and kinda flinched well he went for my hand and bit me and I got nervous so I was trying my best to get him but he kept striking at me so I grabbed a small pole I had and he wrapped him self around it and I was able to get him in the cage well he ended up regurgitating and I've been meaning to get the mouse but he keeps watching me so finally today my dad helped me he grabbed the snake I was able to get the mouse out and my dad put him back well I decided to feed him cause I know he would be hungry so I grabbed him and I was nervous but he was fine when I got him so I fed him when he was done ( this is where I freaked out) so he wasn't really moving and I got nervous so my dad got a small rag and put it over him and kinda picked him up to show me it's ok so when I tried he moved and I just freaked I started shaking my dad grabbed him and he wasn't mad didn't even strike and put him away honestly I wanted to cry cause I don't want to be this nervous it's dumb he is my first snake but this is my first time being bit yes I did expect it I don't deny it'll happen again and I will be ok but this is the first time I just would like some advice I'm gonna let him rest for a few days then I will try again but I'm learning all this on my own so I do need some advice from people who've been through this I am aware he will be huge and everything I am prepared to keep this snake and care for him but this is my first bite you can't blame me for being nervous if anyone has some tricks or advice that can really help please let me know also I know it's not the best to handle him after feeding but I'm very gentle and he sits in my hand and I put him away slowly and I never had a problem but when I used the pole he was moving around to much and I leave him alone got a few days so just no judging :p I don't plan do get rid of him either not an option I will do anything to get over the fear I'm having
