Yea those are all things i did with big snakes when i was younger, Even the hissing thing, my friends dad owned a pet store and had a few full grown and the female would hiss and he said to disregard it, but i was just surprised when i got a bp that doesn't ball. Um as far as the enclosure goes, its 110 gallon, but not to open. Ill work on some pictures. hmm.. oh yea and he's skiddish of his head like most, i went to pet him close to his head, upper-neck region and he flinched which i expected in a way, but he doesn't duck his head he faces and stares, typically thier head shakes a little before they strike but my last snake just bit me not even cocked back once, and im thinkin i might just have a bad-case of losing alllllll of the confidence i once had, hell when i was little i even once stuck my hand in a tank with about 4 agressive B-P's just so i could hold the big snake (hell of a deal right?) im sure it was entertaining.
