Seeing as im new to the large snake scene, i found it fit to research b4 i was actually sure its a good idea to get a boa. First, i was wondering what the differences are between BIC's and BCC's, besides adult tail color and saddle shape. Secondly, i have reda that aquariums should be a last resort bcause they are jus too difficult to maintain, but r they rly that bad? Being only 15, i dont have the financial resources to pay for a custom cage bcause i have to pay for EVERYTHING myself with less than $600 in my bank account. Also, i am planning to go away to college in two years nd i already have more pets than i can handle nd have even arranged to give sum away. I plan to take my BP with me, but shoold i wait till after college to get the boa? My neighbor has had a boa since i was 4 (the whole reason i got into them) and i have taken care of it while she was on vacation and handled it often. I've noticed that it is rather large. when he measured it, it came out to be just under 15 feet. Is this considered giant or is it a common occurenece? And lastly, What size enclosure (WxLxH or gallons) woold be the minimum for a 10 foot boa? Any help VERY much appreciated, thnxxx.Oh, and sum people say that if im asking these questions im not ready for a boa. But i assure you, i have had a desire to get one for m any years, and it has just gotten stronger when i attempted to get rid of it by buying another snake, so i DEFINITELY want and am ready for a boa. peaceee
