    Re: How to handle baby boas...

    Heres what u do

    If its in a really pissy mood when you go in to get it. Take the hand u do not use to handle her and quickly cover her head with a open palm. If she strikes its only gonna be a flat palm so nothing big. Grab the other hand pull her out.

    Now hold her with just that one hand until she starts to loosen up and become more active (tongue flickering, moving around) Then u can "introduce" the second hand.

    If she is still tagging u... Then let her tag you. I have a little female she tags me 4-5 times everytime i take her out. One taking her out and normally around 4 times just tagging my hand im holding her with. Eventually she will learn its no use....

    Me what i say do is hold her maybe 30 mins every other day and maybe a 10 min on the non 30 min days. I do not like holding everyday for so long. except for feeding day and 2 days after.

    Eventually she will figure out ur not a threat and stop tagging u. But keep on the CONSTANT handling sessions before her bites start to really hurt
