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..
Well he does love to hiss. But it is just about always followed by the sound of his face banging against the front of the bin. Handling him gently just seems to piss him off even more. In fact I'm not really sure what he looks like with his mouth closed. Even in hand he sit with with his mouth open, starring at my face, hissing and striking. I don't really care either way, but with my luck this one will grow up into a 7' monster that strikes at anything that moves lol. Not what people getting into bci should expect, but defiantly something they should be prepared to deal with just in case. Either way he is a stunning snake, so dark already, and so iridescent. I couldn't be happier with him.
