    You are more than welcome to stay regardless of what kind of snake you decide to go with. You will find that a large number of the members here keep a variety of pets. In addition to boas, I would suggest also looking into some of the Carpet Pythons (Morelia Spilota), which are also more interactive and curious. Here is the link to a thread where I did a write-up on Red Tail Boa basics. And this didn't include any of the other boas such as the Dumerils boa, Rainbow boa, Rosy Boa, or Sand boas, that you may also consider.

    Ball pythons actually are pretty interactive, and they don't get quite as large as adult boas. But sure, they're definitely slow motion compared to most boas. Some people do strongly prefer one or the other. I'd check out adults of both species at good petstore.

    This looks like a nice operation in Milwaukee, doubling as both a store and a reptile rescue. It's got great reviews on google. Does anyone have more info?

    And yeah, we have a boa forum here, too. But redtailboas.com is a pretty major community, and worth checking out if you're leaning that way.

    Welcome to the forum!! Have you checked out faunaclassifieds.com and kingsnake.com? You can also check breeders on the BOI before making a decision :)
