well yesterdy it was feeding day nd they were all in there tubs so the wee boa had 2 rat pups as i was out of medium mice so i was just away to pick him up and pit him back in the viv and all of a sudden before my hand enters the rub he comes out and bites me on the thumb so i give him one more lilrat pup nd then get the hook out and carefully lift him back in his viv
so today i went to sparay the big boas moist hide so i have to move him out the way and when i got to shift him he opens his mouth and lets out a huge hiss
so am like ok big man you win so i back out care fully and shut the viv door
then the wee one hiises at me when i go to change the water _________________ jack

i wouldant worry to much it happens to up all at some point
just make sure all temps are ok for them then it is just a case of time and small amounts of handling just be patience |

i think the wee one was maybe still in food mode jack. feed him in his viv/tub then totally leave hjim till he has digested. the bigger one may be hissy cause he might be in shed or same as wee one, in food mode.
when i feed my female i leave her totally alone for two days. and if she is in shed she is very hissy. _________________
