I guess that's a possibility. Seems a lot more trouble than just blocking his head with a roll of paper towels or a tub lid or something. I know boas behave a lot differently than a BP or retic when it comes to territorial aggression but good grief. Some people should not keep snakes, let alone breed them D:
