    They are very stealthy and of all of my snakes, I'm still most cautious with the BC.

    My carpet on the other hand is like a person. "Oh HI,,,,, shall I come out and have a spin around?"

    She's great and I have done things that should cause her to bite and she just won't.

    My new retic and I are still learning each other.
    Haha see it's opposite with me. Both my boas wouldn't bite me unless I actually hurt them. Even when they are cranky, they don't hiss or anything, just go inside their hide and sit in there lol. The JCP is different. If she is cranky, she will hiss loud and she does look me in the face which sometimes makes me feel awkward lol. I give the JCP respect but my boas are like my kids where I can pick them up, toss them around and grab them however and they just sit there and take it. From my snakes, it seems my pythons have moods where as the boas are pretty much even keeled and up for whatever. So, i'm figuring i'll be treating the retic the same as I do my carpet. Nice and slow and not grab them or sling them over my shoulder and go outside and do whatever like I do with the boas. Heck, sometimes late at night, ill hop in bed, turn on the tv and let a boa hang out with me. The JCP really only seems to like to sit on my shoulders and watch stuff, not much into relaxing on the bed and watching tv lol.
