The first Boa I ever went to buy was being kept in a college store room.
When I got there, I noticed a kiddie pool full of water on the floor.
Walked in anyway.
Spent 30 minutes examining a Dumeril’s Boa with a 5+ foot alligator slithering over my feet, mouthing my bare ankles.
[no tape on his snout, either]
Never flinched.
Bought the Boa.
She ain’t all that.
