Hey, so I have this 10ish month old boa and I just want to make sure I'm reading his behaviors correctly. I have been working up to about 30 minutes a day handling time so far(aside feeding and digestion days of course). He is calm and slow moving to explore my hands and the surroundings when out of the enclosure. He occasionally will shift his weight and startle himself but with a quick squeeze and a second of pause he's back on his way. It seems to me he enjoys (as much as is possible) his time out and he doesn't seem to be stressed in the least. Sounds good right? Any signs of malcontent I should be aware of that aren't present in a bp? I'm probably being silly, but taking the best possible care of my animals is my utmost priority and I always fear I may be missing something in the beginning.
Thanks!
