Before I say anything, Boas are "the" snakes that made me fall in love with snakes in the first place, but I have hold out in getting one until I find the right one for me and other issues.

First question is color. It seems to me that Boas go through a color change with age, or is it just different colors of the same sub-species? For example, I'm realy interested in Surinames. I realy like the gray-ish looking color of them, but that seems to be a "youth" (I keep reading "neaonate" Im guessing thats a young boa) color? If I'm right, what is the final color of a Suriname boa?

Example Here, first top left picture, I realy like those colors.

Second is size. Is a male Suriname a Boa that I will always Be able to handle by my self alone? If not what are other options of similar color?

Third is temperament. Are they a easy Boa to deal with?

Also Please! Could anyone post pictures of their Surinames and their Ages?

Thanks!
