Yup, our brown house snake is the smallest member of the boa family although they will draw blood when they bite (been there, done that). Now I've learned to offer them a little box to hide in. They actually tame up easily and are often kept as pets
You mean your coworkers aren't used to you by now?
Hah my coworkers thought I was only into mushrooms but now they realize I like reptiles too. That's interesting that your brown snakes are actually boas. I grew up in Arizona where they have loads of snakes and I've always wanted to find a rosy boa, sadly still haven't seen one yet.
The Rosy boa is a beaty! Quite similar to ours
