Thanks Rich.

BP's are strange if you've kept Boas or most colubrids. They eat on their schedule, not ours!

I started with a BP and then got into corn snakes, Boas, and Carpet Pythons. So, I love them for their ease of feeding, but still adore Shayna. Aside from her eating habits and being a bit shy, she's a wonderful girl.

However, I tell most people who want a BP as a first snake, especially those who are "helicopter" parents, to get a colubrid first. Between the humidity requirements, and especially the fasting and skipping meals, I do not think they are great first snakes. Having said that, they usually have an awesome demeanor. Of course, new snake owners like to handle, and although calm participants, I find Shayna does well for about ten minutes and then wants back. Behira, Feliz, my corns, they can be handled longer, especially the Boas. The boas either want to explore all day or fall asleep on me. Shayna gets antsy.
