LOL. I am a belly dancer and getting bit on stage is the LAST thing I would want. This is why I am trying to work with her beforehand so we can get comfortable with each other. I know of several dancers who dance with snakes and have never been bit while performing. I also have performed with a RTB (a different one) and a burmese python before and all went well. My boa, however, is more active when out of the cage than the previous ones I have handled, and I'm hoping she gets more calm with me over time.

@bcr229 I like the analogy of herding cats and convincing them that where I'm guiding them was their idea. Thanks for that. I just need some more time with her so I can get familiar with her habits.
