I don’t remember the exact circumstances, I think I was going to give her a quick bath before a flight(mistake). I was holding her when she bit the meat of my thumb and coiled around my hand and wrist. All 5 feet of her was coiled with her head in the middle of the ball. Water did nothing. I had to wait about a half hour before she got bored, she then peeled her mouth off. I later found out that rubbing alcohol gets them to fuck off immediately, but that was the first and last time she bit me.

Ooo yea rubbing alcohol works too in a pinch. I’ve been lucky enough not to have to do it. I typically stuck to working with our carpet pythons and left the boas to my husband.

When they are shedding, it helps, especially as they get older.
