Thinking about getting a boa as a second snake?
I've had a BP for about a month, and I'm thinking that maybe I'll get a boa eventually (probably 4-6 months).
I'm about 5'4", so I'm hoping to get one that I'll be able to handle by myself safely.
I'd like a breed that's a bit more docile, since it is my first large snake.
I'm hoping to eventually be able to handle daily.
A snake that has fairly simple husbandry would be nice, but I am willing to put in a bit more effort.
I was hoping someone could suggest a boa for me? I like how Hog Island Boas look, and I like Boa constrictor imperators, but I'm not sure if they're the right choice or not for me. I'm not interested in rosy or sand boas, and not particularly interested in Red Tail Boas. I'm definitely not looking into tree boas right now.
Questions:
*For Hog Islands, and Boa constrictor imperators (or any other suggested boas) what's an estimate of how large the enclosure will have to be?
*Feeders- Guinea pigs, rabbits, a few rats? Is it just a matter of opinion? I'm hoping to feed frozen, and would prefer to feed rats. I don't know if I would be able to get any feeders except for rats and mice.
As always, thank you very much to anyone who replies! If you need more information, I can definitely give some.
