Hey everyone! So I'm new at snake care and got a Brazilian rainbow boa at my local herp show more than a week ago and I'm having problems picking him up. When I got him at the breeder he was easy to pick up and after I got him home I left him alone for a week so he wouldn't be stressed. The weird thing is, he doesn't mind being held. When you do get a hold of him he relaxes then starts slithering on your hand in a slow, relaxed way. So the real question is can I get him out of his tank without being bitten and have him still learn to trust people or am I just going to have to get bitten a lot before he realizes that I mean him no harm? I really don't want an adult snake that will bite whenever I put my hand in the tank since that would be a lot more painful than it is now!
