I am really looking into getting a boa soon. I've had every snake but a boa so this is new to me. I am stuck between a male BCI, hog island, or a dumerils. I'm looking for 3 qualities:
1.stays very docile and tolerates handling well.
2. Stays small.. bigger then a ball but not over 6 or 7 feet. My fiance is very short and she would like to handle the boa alone, or kids supervised.
3. Can feed on large and jumbo rats since rabbits are pricy.

I was leaning toward hog islands but have heard they are cage aggressive? And what is the max size of a male dumeril?

Thanks!!
