    I really dig the first one, but I'd go with the BRB too. I've seen plenty of perfectly docile BRB's, and seeing as that one is young, you have lots of time to work with it. I also like the size of BRBs over RTBs, a big BRB only eats a large rat, whereas with boas you're probably going to end up on rabbits/ multiple jumbo rats.

    I like the first BCI, very clean looking! If your concerned about size, go with a male. Even if he's longer than average, he'll still have less girth than a female.

    I'm not a boa guy at all but if I were forced to get a boa it would be a BRB hands down...they are stunning!!

    Re: Want your guys opinion?

    I have to agree with Hulihzack - BRBs are not inherently more "nippy" than other snakes in my experience. My brother has a pair of them, and I've never even seen them get twitchy, let alone actually take a swing at anyone. Heck, even the juveniles I've handled have been fairly calm, though they do tend to be more defensive than adults. I think a lot of bites from "nervous" snakes are actually due to nervous handlers, to be honest - if you're nervous and unsteady, the snake picks up on it and becomes nervous itself.

    Also, as others have stated, they're just amazingly beautiful, and of course the cost to feed them will be considerably less than a BCI.
    Mountain bikes are for slow people, and reptiles are far better pets than cats & dogs!
