Very skittish boas may "run" and not grab on. My new BCL pair does this although none of my boas have ever shown that behavior.
Artgecko, my bcl very rarely hold on too, there really slow but the amount of times I've nearly dropped them is crazy.

Do you have any pics of this boa your thinking of getting

Re: Nicaraguan Boa questions.....
Looks like it could well be especially with the high speckling, could be really nice once settled, don't forget to quarantine properly

This website has been great with information on keeping my ball python. I failed miserably at this 20 years ago and the help here has made it a breeze this time around.
Im still on the fence about getting a boa. My BP is perfectly fine going 3-4 days without handling and I think boas prefer more interaction to keep them tame. I work long hours on rotating shifts and I get to interact with my snake when I get time. I’m still doing my research and reading old threads.

Boas are great , I have 14, there interactive great feeders and love to be handled, this little boa is young enough to relax with and never going to be too big ,I think once you give the right sized food she will be a lot more chilled,mine are so chilled especially when out, deffo worth persevering with, it's up to you at the end of the day good luck
