Awesome looking snake!

Care seems to be the same for all of them really

80 degrees year round and 60% humidity

I have noticed that the Borneos seem to be a bit better mannered than the Bloods, and have heard that the Sumatrans seem to be even more mellow. I don't keep any of the Blacks so I can't say from personal experience.

I will however say that they all seem to have their own personal attitude or personality if you will. Some are just mean and some are puppy dogs. The flightier ones don't bother me, it makes it fun. I don't really have any flighty adults though, just babies and juveniles. They quickly grow out of it though.

Some even seem to go through a little "puberty" time if you will and act up a bit more.

The Borneos seem to have a bit better appetite if you can call it that, they all eat, but the Borneos are just quick strikers. Some of the Bloods seem to take some coaxing sometimes. Depends on the time of year also, same as other Python species I'm sure.

Can Hogg Islands be housed comfortably in 41qt tubs? I read that boas are much more active and arboreal than BPs. Is that true? Does a Hogg prefer/need head room more than a BP?

For some reason boas seem 'scarier' or 'feistier' to me than ball/blood pythons. Am I wrong in my assessment?

Apologies if this is somewhat off topic.

...... Ok so I'm still planning on getting both, but uh I kinda went and got another snake today my son did so well with him I had to pick him up.

Awesome what did you pick up?
