if thats what you want, then go for it. Just do the research, i have a solomonisland tree boa, which is in candoia. Viper boas just need a small tub,somthing to burrow under like repti bark, probley 60 to 70 % humitidy. not wet tho and, nice size water dish. They need lower temps around 80 to 83 would be good. you can find ones that our feeding on rodents, there all over kingsnake. candoia are awsome so if thats what you want go for it,dont let some one say your not ready if thats, what you want.
