Hello ! I'm new here and also new to keeping snakes. Love them and really enjoy handling them too Smile

Recently was lucky enough to handle a Cobra (devenomised) and python (unsure of type) whilst traveling in India.

Anyway, last week I rescued a 2.5 year old 4 foot Boa female a week ago Surprised

Yes I always jump in at the deep end! good temperament and already feeding well, plucked up the courage to clean her Viv out whilst she was in there and she was fine, so was I Razz

Looking forward to my first handling session but I can tell you I'm getting a bit nervous Embarassed

Just realised its a bit of leap from handling other people snakes whilst they're there and being confident enough to own yr own boa Embarassed

Wish me luck

Thanks
