Just wash your hands after eating meat, snakes have a sense of smell like you can't believe! If you don't they may be a little nippy, while it's not venomous, it'll still hurt.

Answer 4

Boa constrictors have reached a record of about 14-15 feet.

They're not that huge.

They are not dangerous.

Unless you smell like rodent and for some miraculous reason it manages to latch on to your face and then proceed to wrap around your neck. That's like a 1 in a trillion chance.

Burmese, Reticulated, and anacondas are the more dangerous ones.
