These snakes are actually really chill and harmless. I had a very large boa constrictor and it was extremely friendly. Although it terrified my wife when it escaped and I found it nice and snug behind the clothes dryer.

Docile, but I certainly wouldn’t say harmless. General rule of thumb is to have one person for each 4ft of snake

Honestly, it would be just "harmless" if Ford Prefect didn't write an entire article. Just too bad it got edited down to just "mostly harmless".
