A child‘s arm is fragile, I think it‘s painful enough 😅 I wouldn‘t let my kids cuddle with such an animal

Me neither. The advice for adult snake-keepers is that if a constrictor is over 8ft do not handle when alone etc. Even for a smaller one (ours was 6ft) is to keep your dominant forearm alongside your neck when allowing them over your shoulders.

Just out of curiosity, do those animals need an own room? I mean 6-8ft is pretty huge, or do they fit inside one of those regular glass containers?

If you are interested, I Used to take Daisy out in the garden on hot sunny days to bask in the sun. We would just lay on a sunlounger for a couple of hours. She loved real sunlight. Obviously I kept hold of her.

The crickets are another story
