Boas are definitely more agressive feeders. The speed of stike and feeding response is truly impressive in any boa i have ever been around. They readily will take different type feeders and will often feed in shed if offered (not recommending. just saying). My albino female is a little over a year and about 4 1/2 feet. she amazes me every time i interact wity her.

They are defnitely different as far as movement and reaction to you. Boas seem to keep my attention when i am handling alot more than balls. They are both great though and if you can handle the size and care boas are a rewarding snake to keep.
