Now dont be giving retics a bad name!! Caesar is as laid back and well mannered as any of my boas. He does like to explore a lot more than the boas but if he makes me mad, i boop him on the head with a twisted paper towel and he immediately lays down where he is and sits there.
It's not really the length of the snake that can be hard to manage, it's the girth and heft of one. Caesar is much easier to sling around my shoulder and move with than Rosey who is about 1.5x to almost 2x as thick as Caesar. She is laid back too but is still more work to support and handle.
And whoever said, people are crazy to keep large constrictors alone, i do it and have never had a problem. It comes down to being a knowledgeable and responsible owner and not putting yourself in a situation like that. If you try and give sloppy kisses to your snakes, then you deserve to get bit in the face lol. I generally avoid letting them get really close to my face for the reason that they are still snakes and can do unpredictable things no matter how 'tame' they are.
