Thanks. Caesar has never tried to bite me yet. When it comes to food, I personally wouldn't trust them haha but then again, I don't my boas when it comes to food. They all bite first and taste later lol. As for just taking them out, yeah I trust Caesar. The only time he I have heard him hiss and seen him really pissed where he opened his mouth was when I tried to hook train him haha. He HATES the hook. I just use a twisted paper towel and whack it on his head if he gets overly excited when I open the door and he immediately lays down or retreats and then looks at me over a hide or peeks around his water bowl. The only thing is for the most part, Caesar likes to cruise and explore. He isn't the lounge snake he was when he was a baby. My loungers are the boas. The ultimate lounger is Luna the dumerils. She is happy to sit on me for hours with only moving her head a little this way or that haha. Caesar is like that 5 year old kid who ate a king size Hershey bar and drank a mountain dew.
