No, honestly! Boas and placid dogs get on! The snakes like the warmth so they snuggle up to them.

I'm not planning to leave them unsupervised obviously! A dog could do serious harm to a boa if it felt threatened.

Is there some kind of miniature boa I'm not aware of?

??? Have you met aggressive boas. My two - 8 ft & 6ft not strong enough to constrict me & also very placid.

Was warned not to feed live rats (not that I would) cos the rat can kill the boa if boa not hungry enough to constrict fast.

They move fast enough when hungry! If not, they've been known to let rats gnaw them.

Not usually but if a boa is striking rather than constricting & a rat is fighting back, snake can still lose. Evenly matched

Maybe! I shld research. I never looked at why they are how they are when I had snakes, just how to care for them.

My female boa was definitely more aggressive if you moved her when she didn't want to be but she was not that strong.
