I've never had a boa rub it's nose ... In a traditional "pet store" set up the screen lid is the only thing I can think of that would take the skin off??? Do they appear stressed??? Is their enclosure too small? As for not going back into their homes.... I'm gonna say that might be true with some??? But not on the scale of all of them hurting themselves....


Boas are GREAT to own.... and are a species that I will always love!
