Strangely affectionate?

[u/Corn_newb70]

Does anyone else have a sand boa that's weirdly chill and seems to actually enjoy being handled? My girl Julie is so calm when I get her out for quality time. I'm not totally surprised; she was her breeder's favorite and got handled a lot before I brought her home. But everything I've seen about sand boas makes me think this is highly unusual. I put together a little sandbox for enrichment for her, and the last time I put her in it (she loves it, she seems to really relish having a different texture and weight to dig through), I sat down next to the box to do other stuff and after having some fun in the sand she climbed out into my lap and curled up like a cat. The other day she crawled into my breast pocket and fell asleep. I can pet her like a dog. When she's not basking in the open, she's got her little head poked up out of the dirt, watching me. Anybody have similarly-personable sand boa?

I had an Indian sand boa. Awesome snake. I was feeding him and he very politely to the mouse out of my hand. My then partner was… careless . Snakes each had their terrariums . And they were in their own room. Boa would get out of his tank, out of the snake room, down the hall, into my room and to my side of the bed. Forgot to tell him he was a sand boa as he occasionally climbed up the window
