Get your wife to hold a boa. She will probably change her mind. My red tail is so enjoyable to handle. He is very tolerant of handling, and so far in two months hasn't even thought of striking at me. He hangs out on me while I fold and put away laundry and things, and none of the movement spooks him. Mine also is usually out in his tank, except for recently when he went in to shed he hung out in a hide. Then after he shed yesterday, he was back out.
