Congrats, and they are much more fun than ball pythons.
I only have one for now until I get my pair soon but I agree 100%. I hold my boa A LOT more than all of my bp's combined. Plus my boa is not scared of rats.
...I didn't want to put her up when we got her and neather did my fiancée and she keeps bugging me to hold her but I have to tell he no because we need no let her get settled in her tank lol idk for me I think its how the scales feel so different from bp's that's what I really like about her
Boas are NOT like ball pythons. We held our baby boa from day 1 with no adverse reactions. Boas actually seem to enjoy handling and they do not stress the same way a BP would. So long as you are calm and gentle and put her away if she does seem anxious, handle away! Start with maybe 10-15min the first night, but she should be just fine after that. (And of course wait your typical 48hrs after feeding). But seriously, they like it!
