Haha my two Boas are my exercise too! I wrestled them both out, wrestled them into tubs, banged urate with a hammer then scrubbed scrubbed scrubbed, then wrestled them out of tubs, then wrestled back into their enclosure.
When I was done I just sat on the floor and panted. They never want to cooperate lol! So exhausting!!!

Sounds about like dealing with goats.
Hoof trimming yesterday - they never like that.
Still, I want a boa.

Re: Efficient way to lose weight? LOL
Small women vs big snakes, loool! I want my girl to be this big already! She feels like a worm compared to this... I wrangled a large albino girl out before this one, I was hoping that'd be my first real handling, but I before I got to it I asked someone about her attitude and they took the liberty of helping me take her out. Then of course I'm all pumped to put her away by myself, and my father (who works at this place) just happened to walk by and decided he wanted to help, too! Lol I could do this kind of exercise alll daayy.
It was pretty amusing the way she would huff occasionally and tell me off, hahah.

Lol yup I have the small woman issue too. I've absolutely been on my butt with both feet on the cage trying to muscle a boa out before. When my female is being stubborn it's a chore. I run into the...well I've got this coil loose but I need an end.... I stretch back and the ends are still securely wrapped around something. So I try to reach forward to get closer to her head, and she rockets back in and I have to start all over. She's longer the. I am and my arms just aren't long enough!!!
And she looooves wedging her wide body into narrow spaces.
hubby: whatcha doing (on phone)
me: taking the bathroom door off the hinges
hubby: why? Wait till I get home
me: dipsh** got herself stuck. And the door is creaking I think she's gonna break it.
hubby: are you using a hammer?
me: off course
hubby: I'll be home in ten minutes.
hehehe

Congrats on your big Boa fun! 
I just love handling these large gentle creatures.
The first time I heard the huffing I thought that it was discontent as well. However, they are actually breathing or having a heavy sigh type exhale. It is sometimes a bit of work for them to pull that big body around while squeezing at the same time.
My daughter whom used to be scared of snakes!

The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

That's a hell of a baby step on snake fear! I'm impressed!!!
I love my big pair. Huffy at times, but wonderful to work with. And good for my excersize! And they helped me forever stop the witnesses from coming to my door. Hehe

Re: Efficient way to lose weight? LOL
Thanks! It really is absolutely amazing. I always assumed that most of the huffs were just the snake breathing, but I figured it would be better to assume she was telling me off, lol. I may really love snakes, but I still avoid a bite at all costs... even when it comes to corns. Hahaha and congrats to your daughter for overcoming her fear!
