lately hes seemed nervous to come out but usally i just lightly rub on the side and he immedietly is ready to come and be his normal self, but not today i rubed him and he was still not wanting. i should of left him in

If he is going into a shed, I have found, that sheds can cause a boa to stress more. My guy is usually fine, but when his eyes cloud up for a shed, he seems justifiably more defensive. Shedding is a very vulnerable time for snakes in the wild.. and sice boas are more sight-oriented than, say, a BP with its heat pits.. the cloudiness in the eyes could make him freak out more..
