Re: Best boa for beginners?

I would say Hog Islands or a Dumerils. Hogs get bigger than 5ft, the male I currently have out breeding females at a friends place is pushing 6ft right now and the female is around 7 or so.
Dumerils are very docile, and pretty calm compared to a lot of boas I've had. Biggest i've seen a male get is around 7 and a female 9. Maybe my friends just have freakishly large boas
With all due respect, alot of people really overfeed their boas. Though you and your friends may just get lucky and get the freaks that get larger than normal. :D But ive talked to breeders that only feed their males once a month for six months. But typically male hogs stay in the 5 foot range. You may just have a big guy though, and who can complain about a big healthy boa.:banana:
