She's still kinda small. Only 6 months and just under 3 feet at this point.. My wife can stand her.. But my step-daughter and I are good with taking care of her.

Abu-Dhabi (my bro picked the name!) was over 6' and so thick I couldn't wrap my 12 year old hand around it. We had to stop feeding her rats and graduated to rabbits...my bro left for college and it was pretty much up to me to take care of it - that's when my folks gave her away.

smart move really - we were careful w/ handling her but there were a few accidents along the way. at that size she could've done some serious damage...plus the place that took her was really into snakes so it was a good home

I'm glad we had her - but I'll stick to dogs now! :D

I have a baby on the way.. So the wife is paranoid about having the snake.. But I'm putting that fire out by locking the enclosure and handling the snake a lot. She's very tame. Won't even strike at us at all. She'll be fine. i'm sure once she gets around 7-10 feet (her projected adult size).. I might have to do a lot of reassuring.

So, which do you value more? The baby or the boa? Just sayin' - you NEVER know what an animal will do.

Hate to sound so harsh but you need to reevaluate the situation - IMHO. NO smiley!

I trust the lock on the enclosure and my ability to be a good snake keeper more. The baby won't be put in harmsway.

For the record...there have been 12 deaths at the hands of constrictors since 1980. 12 in almost 30 years... You are more likely to get hit by lightning than be killed by a snake. ...I'll go with the odds on this one.
Big SMILEY :D :spit:

I don't hear at all that Noonan's snake has the run of the house (which would be dumb on a number of counts, with or without baby - you lose the snake very fast).

A snake in a locked cage/enclosure is no more danger to a baby than a knife in a locked drawer. In fact that's a pretty good analogy. If you leave sharps lying around within reach of your infant you're asking for trouble. Locked away - not a problem at all.

Eviently you're not very knowledgeable about snakes kept as pets. That's ok. Like any other animal (dogs, perhaps?) there exists the potential for the pet to harm another creature. Of course, like any other animal (dogs, perhaps?) if the owner is knowledgeable, properly trains, cares for, and controls the animal, there will be no issues.

In reality though, snakes are about some of the most predictable pets ever. I trust the owners description of a snake's temperment much more than their description of a dog or cat's temperment. I know my snake is way more predictable than my cat, or any other dog or cat I've met.

Exactly correct. I've had multiple snakes over the years and they're generally much more predictable than a cat or a dog. Boas are known for being very laid back and calm and very rarely show aggression of any kind. They learn very quickly what food is and what it isn't. I wouldn't let a large snake run loose in the same room with a baby, but then I wouldn't let a large active dog in the same room either.

....six altogether. Instead of trying to get them to pose, my wife said, just sit out your bass. They'll all eventually walk by!

If you ever heard that Greyhound's are hyper- think again! These are her daily activities: listen to me play bass and work. I'll take her on a walk or run around in the yard, but most of the time, she prefers laying in my bed and giving me booboo eyes.
