Someone once told me that handling boas is like driving a nice luxury car. A really smooth ride.
Great quote El-Ziggy.
The new guy, Feliz, is already super chill as well. I can only imagine how cool he will be when he's Behira's age and been handled by me regularly for over a year as well! He's very trusting, but as with Behira, I need to earn and reinforce his trust. Behira was similarly trusting and docile in the beginning as well. However, with size, time, and trust, she's definitely improved a bit. Again, not defensive or anything to start, but much more relaxed now.
Start with a good species and animal and work with them and build trust and rapport you will be rewarded.
