We are fostering a 5.5 foot male columbian boa. He's is girthy, heavy and very strong for his size as I'm sure most of them are. He's also incredibly easy going but as a matter of rule and to set a firm example for our teenagers I don't remove him alone as he is longer than I am tall (short female here LOL). Our only problem with handling him actually is it takes two of us to get him back in his enclosure as he struggles a bit and slithers quickly back out as fast as you can put him in LOL. He also seems a lot more active when out than any of our ball pythons and definitely takes careful watching as he gets into everything. When he wants to though he can be very lazy and will cuddle under a blanket and watch tv with anyone that's willing to have a rather large lap snake LOL.
