Searching for a new scaly friend!

Now that sounds like one incredible display lol I'm hoping to have a dual display with my Spider girl and the new boa. Her on bottom and the boa above. Fingers crossed! Lol

Just don't forget to quarantine new additions! :)

Any boa breeders you recommend?

Sounds like a good place to start! Thank you for all your help Daybreaker!

Both of mine I got locally. One from a local reptile store, one from a local member here. However, I got a ball python from Bob Futo, and he is also a boa breeder.

I recommend a male Colombian, they should stay in the range you want and they're hardy, easy keepers, and most have wonderful personalities. They come in lots of morphs too :gj: Just keep in mind a male will need at least a 4' cage, recommended 4' x '2 x 2'

Agreed - excellent advice here.

Another option for a smaller boa is a Dumerils ground boa. They tend to stay in that 5-7ft range and have wonderful personalities - very inquisitive, docile, and sweet. Male BCIs of any locality will tend to stay smaller than the females, so keep that in mind. Of all the suggestions, a Colombian or Dumerils will most likely have the best temperament.

The breeders Daybreaker mentioned are all great. I have also purchased from Tim Koppenhoffer of Special K Reptiles, Vin Russo of Cutting Edge Herps, and Gus Rentfro of Rio Bravo. Can't go wrong with any of these guys - they are all great and will often have some nice selections. :gj:

One really good guy is Dave Colling at Rainbows-r-us Reptiles. I got my first boa from him and I could not be happier! http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/22/eqyry2y7.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/22/3e3egutu.jpg

Thanks everyone for all your helpful input! Time to do some MAJOR research. Lol. But I think the hog's have stolen my heart.
