Yes CAs are cranky as little ones, I don't have any in my collection. I remember at some point I told myself I would never have a evil boa in my collection and if a boa was a hisser the moment I walked into a room Id sell them. I did few, but as time went on I got a number of boas that I spent a good chunk of change on and have decided to accept it *le sighs* so now there are a few that great me with their hissing lol I try to keep them on the top shelf so they don't see all the activities. PS to other people reading this bcis are really great natured. If you handle them often as babies they will be great adults. Mine just aren't always handled all the time, sadly..
