are balls boring to handle compared to boas?

i should say are balls less exciting to handle than boas...

[The Serpent Merchant]

I wouldn't say boring, but Boas are more active/investigative

I like to say they're more manageable and easier to hold. Boas are more active and will try and go on their own usually.

im enjoying it

I personally don't enjoy handling the majority of boas because lots of them are constantly on the move. I did have one a long time ago that would just sit on me, the others would not. That's what I like about BPs, I don't enjoy constantly trying to catch the reptile I'm handling. I much prefer calm slow moving snakes to active ones. Some people on the other hand don't like BPs for the very reason I love them, it's all personal preference.

...and I used to like calling lies "tricks".

Short answer, for me- Yes, they are more boring...when they are young especially(with there always being exceptions). My adult balls handle comparably to my boa(other than size)...none being shy, and all very tolerant of handling if not outright active and "personable".

yes I think so

A friend said it best, "ball pythons are the lap dogs of snakes." I see balls as eye candy, while carpets and boas are more interactive.
