    Viper Boa with a great disposition

    I was just picking up some feeders for the babies and the shop had a viper boa. I heard that they can be nasty so, of coarse, I wanted to hold it. Well, this guy was so calm and sweet. It was amazing. I came home and did some research and found out that they are easy to care for. I was thinking about getting him, what do you guys think about it. I have no expierence with them (I am a python guy).

    I don't have first hand experience, but I love all boas in the candoia genus. They stay small, are really cool looking, and aren't too expensive. If you like it, go for it!

    I should add that you should make sure it's feeding on mice.. candoia can be picky eaters, wanting lizards and such.
