First Boa!

hey, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what kind of boa would be the best for my first one?
I really like colombian red tail boas alot, and they are very good looking snakes but I just wanna make shure that I will be making a good choice?

Well, it depends on what kind of snake experience you have.

Colombian boas get big. 7-9' is pretty normal. 30lbs is not unusual for a big female. They are usually very docile and easy to care for husbandry-wise however.

Hogg island boas tend to stay a bit smaller. They're cool snakes.

Sand boas are great snakes, but they're not big bulky things like red tail boas are. Not sure what you're looking for really.

i'm generally looking for a boa that looks similar to the colombian boa and is not very nippy and will tolerate beaing handled alot

Well.. colombian boas or hogg island boas are a good bet.

My vote goes for the Hog Island boa!Best boa in my opinion!
