Thats a great way to put it :D

and after all this "light" being shone onto IBD... i would hesitate to bring a boa into your collection.

(thanks... i learned that "buy what makes your heart https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil.../4/7/heart.gif sing" from adam!)

I would say male BCI. if fed conservatively, they don't usually get much over 6' and almost never 7'+. If fed ever 2 weeks, you are looking at a lean, and heathy pet

whats a BCI?

my next snake is going to be a rainbow boa. I fell in love at the local pet shop and she was beautiful.

I would get a new type of snake. Look out for boas, though. You could still get one if you kept it in another room and made very little contact between it and your pythons. :carrot:

Boa Constrictor Imperator, also known as a Colombian boa or red tail boa. Males average 6-8 feet, females a couple feet larger, rarely exceed ten feet.

so? what did you decide to get?

Don't get a Boa... Everyone gets boas. Get something different. Like someone else said, the carpet pythons are really nice, or maybe a macklotts python would be good. They're a nice medium sized python that have great personalities and aren't too expensive, yet fairly uncommon in most collections.
