    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

It’s been over a year now of regular handling and this boy is clingy. Reminding me of my days with babies.
I bring him in my bedroom to get away from anything distracting I guess. Like other pets. Cats. Dogs. He still will not let go. He freaks out when I make him
go solo. It looks like he’s gonna break his spine. I put my hand out and he grabs. He’s never slithered his body length yet. 😁. What am I creating? As I write this, he’s chilling out on my hand and arm in the hand I’m typing with. I think he will have to go to an educator at some point. After he sires a litter or three.

Anyone have or had a boa like this? He’s from 4/21.

I have a similar one. In fact, if he thinks he's getting dropped he'll panic, flail, then bite you - and he's over six foot so he packs a punch.

I have others that just drape and don't grab at all, and they've always been like that.
 
Funny you say that he flips out when putting back. Mine too. But he’s little. And doesn’t bite. Yet! Hope he gets out of it before he matures. I’m on blood thinners. Lmao.
I got bit by a big dh sunglow male with attitude some years back while on thinners for my stents, I bled like 3 hrs or so. Ended up with a huge black and blue.

I didn’t think my boa was the only clingy boa out there.
