From everything I've read and heard baby Boas are snippy but grow out of it.Originally Posted by WarriorPrincess90
I'm really glad the popping stopped too. I couldn't believe my new baby might be sick.BUT, luckily, she seems quite active and so far no more signs. She is an absolute doll! I'm convinced she will tag me at least once when I open her tank...she's very feisty. I don't know if that's just the Colombian feeding response (which is very strong lol), or if it's just that she wasn't ever really handled? But she's a sweetie once she's out so I don't know.
She climbs me like a tree. Lol. But my Dumeril's boa does as well. The Dum is a sweetheart too though. Just not quite as active.My Dum used to hiss at me when I took her out. Now she's calmed down a lot. I LOVE the boas. Their personalities are amazing.
I really hope your kids get better soon.
Brom is 5 years old and he probably got over it long before I got him.
If he's hungry though...he'll 'stalk me' as I get his FT rat ready.
I don't think I'd like to stick my paw in his condo on those nights....
However, if I touch him gently with the tongs, he snaps out of "feeding mode" and goes back to being cuddly again.
He loves to ride on my shoulders and rest his head on top of mine, "periscoping".

Both he and the Dumerils would eat every day if I let them.
They're pigs.
The Dum is 7 and lived in a store room in a box with no heat for who knows how long.
I can understand her greediness.
She probably thinks every meal might be her last for a very long time.
If I keep her out for at least half and hour, she'll explore a bit but she tends to head to the floor.
I don't push her to be more sociable.
Who knows what kind of psychological shape she's in?
She just gets to be and be comfy, now.
When she's ready, maybe she'll become a social butterfly.
Even if she never does, she still gets the same love and care.
