I have a couple of large boa's, and a yearling retic that is growing... Along with a tiny 3.8kg dog. My dog is ordered to her bed for the boa's as they stay on me or in my hands. On the other hand when my retic is due to come out, she's put out of the room completely.

It's not about the smell setting the snakes off, any sort of fast movement can cause a feed response.. More so in the retics case, and even though the retic is small still I've started this routine now to save issues down the line.

I also have an ackie monitor that the dog is fascinated by, however I know that fascination could turn in a second as she's half terrier.

When I get my snake room done, they will never see each other... Once the room is snake proof, I will let my guys wonder the room, one at a time, to get some exercise... My dog has never been allowed in there anyway... I just shouldn't bring them into the living room to show them off... No sense testing fate... I would hate for my little dog to lose an eye or something... It's not like anybody I know really wants to see my snakes anyway! and isn't that sad... boo hoo

A very wise decision my friend . And just you wait until George is around 10ft you'll have lots of people wanting to see him, there's something about big snakes that fascinates people

You nailed it on the head in an earlier post Dave. When you've got a snake 10ft plus out you don't want any distractions or anything that might cause an adverse reaction.

Scares me how many people get lackadaisical when it comes to the basics of handling the giants.

I don't understand the people that get complacent with giants. Even at 10 feet the command alot of respect. Honestly the Giants are harder to work with than hots in my opinion.
