I would love to have a boa as a pet, but I been holding back because of my BPs, wondering alot if I should risk it or not, but Im almost to the point where Im ready to get one and never Look back.

I love the Peruvian and Brasilian true red tails colors. Also this one the Suriname. Beautiful Boa!
Didnt even see this til now.. Surinams are BCC. (true redtails) Guyana and Suriname Boas are BCC. Im also getting a surinam. He's paid for but im waiting on shipping. Problem with many BCC is they are not pure blood BCC anymore. People are mixing them with BCI and losing the distinct qualities of the true redtail's. If you get one be sure you know what to look for to tell them from BCI and only buy from a well known breeder who does not mix the bloodlines.

BCC can sometimes have more of an attitude than BCI but really its all in how you raise them. If you get a BCC just handle it often and use long feeding tongs during feeding time so you dont get accidentally bitten. They are beautiful.
