Lol...

When boas hiss and act all scary....freaks me out!!!!! Seriously. Something about that hissing sound- like a rattlesnake rattle sound- just stops me cold in my tracks!!

Jimi's snakes are the most mellow on this planet and so I'm thinking something else must be going on. Question: Do you have this guy in QT? Just wondering cause it is always a really good idea to QT all new snakes and to not keep a QT'd boa with any pythons.

Do you have this fella in a tank? Perhaps covering the sides and back of the tank with dark paper will add to the snake's sense of security.

Are you certain that the temps are bang on and all husbandry is amazingly correct?

I gotta share that my boa from Jimi never even uses a hide~ she just hangs on branches and cork wood and wonders when her next meal will be!! She is uber calm and steady and really very cool. My boas all live in my living room and so can check us all out at their desire. Ya know, they are more curious (much more curious) than ball pythons.... do you think it might be best to take your boa out of your lair and have him in a more accessible (to other life forms) place?

Methinks some variable other than the snake is going on.............
