    One question: Ive heard almost everyone say how boas are different from balls and more active but what exactly do you mean? Like she doesnt hide at all? Or she sits on branch purches?
    Boas being more active is referring to handling. Balls are normally slower and don't move as much but boas are constantly moving. I had to put one hand in front of the other and keep switching every 3-8 seconds because she was moving so much. The only time she held still was when I had her around my neck. Even after she calmed down she was still on the move just not as fast.
