    It's not something to take on unless you are ready, but keep in mind that it will be several years before it's even appropriate timing if you are getting hatchlings. I'm not familiar with that locality of boa, but some of those dwarf boas can take 6-8 years to be ready because growth rate is so slow on appropriate diet. That is a lot of time to learn and get that breeding bug. If you don't personally, there may be some really serious breeder nearby you worth trusting who would kill to have a breeder loan of that particular locality and could be missing either the male or female. Watching Garrett's (Reach Out Reptiles) videos about Karompa retics can really put things in perspective about what some of these breeders go through to preserve them. You never know what legislation will come along entirely preventing a certain species being imported from outside the country which is the case with the retics. Even if your country doesn't do it, the country that they come from might ban exports because of over collection.
