As I posted on this forum about my excitement to add two RTB's to my existing two Ball Pythons - well, I got them and now am regretting doing it.

I don't know if I got sooo used to my two bp's that are absolutely the most friendly, docile creatures you could ask for. I strictly keep my snakes for pets so friendliness is very important.

So anyway, I got the RTB's and am not thrilled with their demeanor - they tend to be very pissy and will not hesitate to strike at me. When I do manage to get them out of their enclosure - they flail around at first to the point where I can barely hold on to them and they are only 4-5feet long at this point - I can't imagine if they act like this when they are 6-7 feet long. I live alone so I have to be able to handle my pets on my own.

I called a breeder friend of mine and discussed the situation with him - he did say that he would swap the boas out for another bp that I want - I feel bad doing this but at this point I am not enjoying the boas at all - I've had them now for three months.

Any advice or helpful suggestions or maybe some support in my decision to swap the boas out for a more manageable bp.

Thanks everyone.
