Are red tail boa's dangerous animals?

All animals need to be respected for what they are capable of

I love this statement!

And I knew the guy who was killed by the boa. It was just him and his girlfriend. He reached around at the boas head to remove it and the snake tensed from fear. He was just inexperienced. Stupidity turned to tragedy.

You couldn't pay me enough to put any snake around my neck without means of getting it off. The most important thing, is to prepare for the worst. Know what you are going to do if something does happen. And remember, for every 6 ft of snake there should be an extra person handy. You can never be too careful.
