    What would you do in my place? Blood vs. Columbian (x Central American?) Boa
    I'm looking into getting another species of snake as a pet (I only have a ball now) and I'm debating between a blood and an older boa that I found, we think he's part Central American and part Columbian but aren't sure. Which would you go for in my place? I absolutely can't choose between them!

    i think the boa. it was my second snake and it doesnt need to much special treatment either and it eats really well.

    You can't go wrong with either. I own both.

    Even if the boa is crossed with a CA, it has potential to be 8+ feet. In general, boas are very calm but very curious. Wonderful feeding responses.

    Bloods/short tails are much shorter than boas, but comparable in weight. Hatchlings tend to be pretty nippy, but a CBB blood will usually become very docile with frequent handling and age. Also aggressive feeders.

    My boa (1.5 years)

    My Borneo "blood" (somewhere around 2 years)

    I personally would go with the boa over the blood any day.

    Its all ready been said, the boa will get large. And will need a 6 foot cage at some point. If you have the room they are great pets. Also keep in mind you will have to get large food items for the boa. And a large snake should not be handled by one person. If you can do all that I vote for a boa.
