Got trained on a new snake.
Balboa is a common boa constrictor. They're also known as red tailed boas. This is the largest snake Im trained on and she is also definitely the strongest.
When she was sitting like this I noticed that my hand was starting to feel cold and sure enough she was squeezing tight enough to cut off the circulation. Pretty eye opening for me to understand the gravity of how strong this snake is.
I still like her.

So you work at a zoo, right? We're going to need some zoo workplace stories.

Average sized red tail*

Never said she was large for a red tail. Just that she's the largest snake that I am trained to handle.

These are weak compared to reticulated pythons or anacondas

I mean, boas aren't weak, but a retic or an anaconda is an apex predator comparable to big cats....

My response was because you think we'd be allowed to handle a snake that large & let the public meet it. I wouldn't even be able to hold one

I'm very aware of how large and predatory retics are and even Burmese.
