    No one can make the decision but you.
    Look up some of their caresheets here to see which is a good level of committment for you.
    If price is a factor, see which species fit your range.
    Or, if looks are key, google up some pictures of each.

    Boas do get larger than bp's and require larger enclosures, so take that in consideration with your current space.

    Significantly larger at that.

    Re: next snake???

    size and price arn't an issue for me. The only problem I can forsee is my fiance...don't know if she will be ok with a boa b/c of size. But I realy like the looks of them, and from what I've read their personality isn't bad. Just can't decide what to go for. The rtb would be cheaper than the mojo but enclosure wise...it might even out.

    I've always been into bloods (blood pythons), but have never had them. Quite beautiful looking pythons. But, they require more care and a larger space than bp's.

    I love the looks of the bloods and space isn't a problem. My concern with them is their temperment. I want a snake that I can get out and handle without having to worry alot about getting bit. I'm not afraid of being biten but don't want it to be a normal thing...lol

    Bigger = bitier.
    Not always the case.
    Still though, it's more shock than anything else.

    Been bitten before? A ball's bite feels like a paper cut. And it's probably more scared than you are.

    If you're afraid of being bitten, you're better off not keeping snakes, lol. It's just part of the hobby, it happens.

    I wish I had the space to get another red tail, they're beautiful snakes. For now I'll just stick to balls. I do plan on getting a Dumeril's Boa sometime soon, I absolutely love their appearance!
