MK we all know that you prefer the little garters, Not all Boas are difficult to keep.
The red tail at the summer camp is taken out for the kids to play with all the time.
It's the "tree" variety that are "nippy" nature has programmed them to grab birds from flight, and they can strike with 85% of the snakes body length.
The loud thud that Stefan refers to is a result of the snake perceiving the motion as a prey item.
They have no venom, but they have rows of teeth for grabbing prey and holding it, these teeth will draw blood, as will a Garter.
If J or P ever bite you, DO NOT pull them off, it will damage the teeth. I run some cold water over their head until they release the grip.
