Just wondering?

So I have a Hog Isle Boa and she is usually pretty good about being held and not hissing on occasion a big his but never striking, but I was just wondering why does it seem boas are a little more hissy then a bp. It seems my BP when I take her out she has no problem coming out but when I take my Boa out she hisses but once she is out she is fine.. Also I should add will a boa be more tempramental when it is in shed or pre shed?

We have just 1 rtb but when i open the tub he like runs lol. He starts to turn his head and go the other way. Hes never hissed tho. So idk if boas tend to hiss more then bps or not.

Yea Idk either but I know it has alot to do with her shedding and with hogs it so hard to tell him there shedding cause my girls eyes dont blue up so i only know if she shedding by her belly cause it gets cloudy... But now with my other rtb if I started to mess with him he would hiss and hiss and hiss until i left the room and if I was in the room he would stike at the cage.. my bp has never once hissed so its weird.

i havnt had my boa very long, i havnt had any hissing or striking yet...though he NEVER wants to go back in his tub....lol
