    Chat??

    I already have 2 of the best (from what I have read) starter snakes that you can get. A Ball Python and a California Kingsnake, my question was what's a good starter Boa I am not getting one anytime soon but the last time I was at the pet store getting dinner for my boys they had a couple of really cool grey almost purplish Boas.

    I would say my length limit would have to be 6 foot 7 foot at the most. I would not want a animal that could seriously hurt or injure my kids or the cat for that matter lol. Like I said though I am not getting one anytime soon I was just curious thanks for any replies.

    Rosy boas are supposed to be a really good starter boa.
    3.1.1 BP (Snyder, Hanover, Bo Peep, Sir NAITF, Eve), 1.2.3 Rhacodactylus ciliatus (Sandiego, Carmen, Scooby, Camo, BABIES ), 1.0 Chow (Buddha), 0.2 cats (Jezebel, PCBH "Nanners"), 0.3 humans

    I think a male Columbian BCI (Boa constrictor imperator) would be a perfect fit. Males typically top out at 5-6 feet and are among the easiest of the boids to keep and care for.

    BCI's are very good just be sure to get a male as a female will not fit your lenght requirment
    they were my first boa and their husbandry demands are much the same as a BP's
