That's my recommendation :D

ok I'll look in to it I just want a smaller boa thats very tame an cool looking like the BCI or Hog :) Thanks alot everyone. On another note sorry for the dbl post :)

Here's a couple nice shots to show you the comparison between a boa and a BP... the boa is an adult female and the BP is an adult female:

WOW, very cool pics thanks alot! That really helps :)

I wouldn't recommend rainbow boas.. they're finnicky about humidity and temps. Central American boas and Nicaraguans tend to be nippier than Colombian BCI.

Sand and Rosy boas are really nice.. here's my 2 kenyan sand boas:

and my roughscaled sand boa:

Dumerils boas are great.. easy to keep (just make sure you get a well started baby) and they average a heavy-bodied 4-6'

As mentioned above, Hog island boas are very nice. They stay a bit smaller than Colombian BCI, but my female is still a good 6' or so. She's pretty well tempered.. my juvie male Hog island is very docile. This is the female:

Rosy boas and Sand boas make great boas for a beginner. They don't even reach 5 feet in length and they are easily housed and cared for.

I have 3 BCIs. They range between 1 - 2 1/2 years old. They are all very docile. Just watch out during feeding. They have a very good feeding response. If you are into morphs, I would suggest a salmon or albino. I have both of them, and love them both. Males stay smaller than females. Anyway, hope this helps... :cool:

Thank's everyone I think a Hog Island or BCI anyone got a pic of a albino BCI?

Normal BCI would be my recommendation also!
Great temperment ,Great eaters , But realize they can get large.
