    What do ya'll think would be a good next boa for me.....

    Hi,
    I am relatively new to snake ownership. I have a bp and 2 hog island boas. I am now looking to add another
    boa, but can't decide which would be best for me. I am only 5 feet tall so it has to be a snake that I can handle easily.
    I would like a snake under 6 feet and docile. I also understand that young snakes can be hissy and that they are
    individuals in the sense that some snakes that are known for being docile may not be and vice versa. I can't wait
    to hear your opinions.

    Thanks so much
    Beth

    Obviously, you've gotten a lot of suggestions! There a many boas that stay relatively small so you have a lot of choices. Pick whichever one speaks to you. Boas are fantastic pets as you've probably already found so you can't go wrong no matter what.

    I personally also suggest a Dumerils boa, but a male BCI will generally stay under 7 feet and are a bit lighter bodied than the Dums. And you have an infinite variety of morphs to choose from! Enjoy picking one out!
