I have had my new male albino Boa for a month now. I also have 5 BP's that i have had for several years. It is pretty interesting how different they can be. Simply feeding them is a lot different. The boa has a much stronger feeding response, which was quite startling at first! There was no thinking about whether he really wanted it or not, like with the BP's. He also is much more social. He did have a bit of cage aggression at first. But I have been hook training him, (rubbing his head with the hook to let him know it isn't feeding time). Once he feels that, he is all ready to be picked up. I was just reading that albinos can have poor eyesight, so I wonder if this is why he is particularly receptive to this? He is a dream to handle once out of the tub. He seems to enjoy it and doesn't want to go back into his tub. Unlike my BP's who are like "Oh, good Lord, put me back already!". If I come into the room, the boa comes to the front of his tub looking to come out. The BP's are not as enthusiastic. When I am handling him, the boa will look right at me, eye to eye. It was a little unnerving, but I am used to it now. LOL My boy is currently 2 1/2 feet long, so still a baby. But I am enjoying him a lot. We want to make him comfortable with handling as much as possible, and he is on his way. Don't get me wrong, I do love my BP's too, but they are just not as into me! LOL (With the exception of my pastel male BP who is very social).
