So I was picking up rat chow at our feed/pet store, and this adorable juvie red tail definitely had his eye on me He was so inquisitive! And gorgeous to boot. I was sorely tempted, but I think for my first boa I'd like to start off smaller, definitely no BCC. I've been considering a boa for the past few months, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I'd like one of the smaller localities, but I'm not sure which would suit me best. I'd love some input from you boa specialists.

Like I said, I want to stick with a smaller boa, nice temperament(obviously this will be dependent upon the individual, but generally speaking). Additionally, I'd like a lighter/bright/flashy specimen. Sunglows,for one, have really caught my eye when browsing on king snake So for now, I've narrowed it to hog island, dumeril, possibly a male BCI. Are there any others I should add to my list? Once I decide on one, I'll start my research on species-specific requirements. Thanks in advance!
