Oh, I wasn't trying to say that I buy into that notion. Nics are beautiful (yours especially so!) and I'm sure that with appropriate care and handling they're just as tame as any other boa. But I have heard that Hog Islands can be exceptionally docile, even for boas, which is appealing as I tend to enjoy handling sessions longer than do any of my snakes. One reason I need more.
The real problem with boas is that there are so many choices!

I understand! I just thought it's hard when pretty much everything that comes up to do with Nics seem to be negative, at least that's what my experience was - I'm glad I trusted the store employee who told me otherwise. I'm sure Hogs are great, there must be a reason they're popular!
I totally agree that there's so many options, though. If I'd known about BCLs and other locality boas I would've had a much harder time deciding.

Short of looking for another snake to add to the collection, you don't need to re-think your decision one bit. Your snake is absolutely beautiful!!
Too Many...
That's what my wife says

Re: Rembrandt - Nicaraguan Boa (first snake!)
Your Nic is gorgeous Caravaggiooo. I've gotten 2 boas recently and I'm pretty fascinated with mine too. I'm waiting for my BCI to shed any day now. Keep the pics coming please.

Thank you all so much! I'm glad I'm sharing him here because I honestly think I've become even happier with him than if I hadn't. The positive vibes here are great and I hope I can keep posting updates for years to come

This isn't really an update, but I wanted to share! I commissioned an artist called Cold-Blooded Creations on fb to make a mini version of Rembrandt and I'm really pleased with what I got. I needed a keychain and wanted something extra special
