Are red tail boa's dangerous animals?

[stratus_020202]

I am getting a red tail very soon. I have experience with ball pythons as well as baby red tails, however the one I am getting is over 4 feet. I am very educated on these snakes and do not feel like they are much of a threat. What are the odds of my new red tail constricting around me and strangling me to death? From what I've seen and heard, these animals are extremely docile and aren't much of a threat. True?

Well, keep in mind it is a constrictor. My advice would be to not wrap it around your neck. Honestly that's how accidents happen. They wouldn't intentionally strangle you. That's a dumb myth. However, it is how they hang on, and what they do when they are frightened. Do a little more research before you buy one. Try and know as much as you can about them.
