hes a lovely snake and around 3ft just a bucket eats like mad dnt wanna get rid of him but want a snake the kids can interact with.....
you get used to hearing it. the absolute worst and loudest hiss i ever heard was from the hoggy. i felt the air whoosh past my ear!!!! but with him its all a bluff. the rat snake isnt though. you learn when to leave them in peace. i never approach the boa when she is in shed. i just go in and do her water, pick any poo up and give her peace. once she sheds she is fine. put a lock on the snakes viv if you are scared for your youngster.

My CCP does nothing but hiss if he's active at the time. Even when he's in his viv on his own,wierd
well the worst damn hissing, head banging snake i have is a royal. she would head but the sides of her tub trying to get at someone, fly at my nose every time i took her lid off. and catch your eye with a look and stare you out. she was frightening. i say was because she has now calmed right down. i moved her tub to the shelf nearest the room door to get her used to me going in and out. she wouldnt eat, now she is eating like a bucket. and tbh at one point i thought she was evil. but she wasnt. she had been with someone else before i bought her, but they let her intimidate them and they sold her on. i realised she was probably scared, and thats why she was acting like this. and she went for my nose every time because that was the heat scource nearest her. as i say she is fine now, but still needs watched for 'the signs' of an imminent attack!! i love her to bits.
