How dangerous is a boa?

AMEN to that. They usually figure it out soon enough, and let go of their own accord. Very few circumstances IMO where actual prying is needed.

I guess I wouldn't call it "prying" as much as encouraging to let go. Heres the pic only a few minutes after I got bit. It took her a god 30 seconds to let go. I need to get some better soap. That watered down 1$ store stuff doesn't get smells off my hands very well. lmao

Wasn't really referring to you personally, just a generalization.
As for the soap..........Use soap, than Germ-X, or some sanitizer after.

Thanks, I need to go buy some more soap anyways. I might try getting it at Sam's Club in a huge bottle. Never run out that way

Sams Club rocks!

I do belive that a boa would be able to kill a full grown human if the circumstances were right, however I do not belive that a boa would ever try to kill a human (I really cannot picture that.)

nobody said anything about intentional, lol. All they have to do is have a reason to tighten their grip - if they are across your shoulders at the time...
