Yeah good reading i also wanna know what the op is deciding on. Nice pics of everyone's boas btw. I wish had better pics of mine i'm working on that plan on buying a camera. Hope you guys like my big boy i got him spring of 2000. I was in the eight grade then. He's actually the last remnants of my old collection on to which i sold most of. I forgot i had a savu python:weirdface. But any way if the op is still deciding here's a pic of my other boa boy an albino red tail. Maybe your girlfriend will like it:gj:.

thanks lady got him at a small pet shop i go to get pre killed when their needed. Not sure on genetics so i'm guessing he's just an albino red tail. He doesn't have much contrast he's just mostly this peach-yellowish color. His tail is pretty nice too.

Nice Albino EDR!

Honestly I still havnt decided which boa to go with. I am decided on getting a boa though lol. At the moment I'm leaning more towards a nice normal Columbia with darker marking or maybe a motley if I can find one at a reasonable price. But my girl still doesn't like the Columbian much, she prefers the dumeril. From what I have read in this thread I think I prefer the Columbian.

There is a reptile expo coming in April I kind of want to pick one out myself to make sure I have one that is tame to begin with. I don't know if I can wait this long though.

Does any forum member have recommendation for a reputable boa breeder with available boa at the moment in Canada that they could recommend?

Cool go to know. I can't recommend any breeders but if your going to an expo that should be boa heaven. If you get a boa or dumeril im sure you'll find something you like there and im sure you'll find one that's docile best of luck. I'm going to narbc this march and i know how the waiting sucks. Oh yeah thanks reinz you got some nice boa's as well.

First time poster here, but long time snake owner. I don't have much experience with BCI's, but I've had my Dum for 18 years (the one that is left after my wife and I met--not because she didn't like snakes, because she doesn't like the freezer overflowing with rodents--and our electric bill was getting pretty obscene for where we were at the time) and he is the absolute sweetest snake you've ever met, and was since the day I got him as a hatchling. I don't handle him all that often, but I trust him 100% when our son's friends come over and they want to hold him. And, for the first time in a decade, I'll be adding another slithery member to the family (Motley BCI)--my son is pretty stoked about this, even though it's really going to be mine.

Here's my take on this type of situation....do what she wants. Chances are, that she'll love it and it will be easier to add a BCI once you're ready to add to your collection. There's a good reason for the saying, "wife happy, life happy"

Cheers,
Randy

edit: EDR, agreed with the others, that boa is a beaut...
