The temperament of the two BP's is only a fraction of the reason I picked up a boa. Also, just because I picked up a boa doesn't mean I'm done with BP's or even dislike them. I'm fully aware that a lot of the attitude issues with my older BP could've come from previous owners and he lived in a tank that was HORRIBLE. We are talking using a t shirt for a hide and mold everywhere. When I say he was a rescue, I mean it in every sense of the word.
