Pretty much what everyone els said. Dont let the fear of being bitten keep you from getting a snake. As others have said, most adult boas are pretty laid back. Can they bite you....yes, will they... probably. Not saying it will but, you can bet with any snake you have no matter what species, it's at some point going to bite or try to bite you. Lol most of the strikes by snakes are defensive. It's not common for them to hold on and constrict. There are times they will. It may be a feeding accident or one that's just peeved to the point of holding on. Like stated above, if this happens dont panic. Yes it will take some time and help to get the mouth pried open and the teeth out of you skin.... But it happens. You can try the water over the head thing or the alcohol thing. Just dont let that fear keep you from getting an animal you truly want.
