    The main thing to me is the significant size difference. RTBs grow much faster than bps, and you will need a much larger enclosure for an adult. I know you already said that space wasn't an issue, and as long as you are truly aware of how big they can get and that you'll have to be picking up a snake that could potentially weigh around 30-40 lbs, then it's all good. They are both awesome snakes... boas are more curious, bps are usually more chill... so it really comes down to your personal preference as far as overall look, feel and temperament

    Good luck, and I can't wait to see pics of whatever you choose!!
    I didn't know they grow faster than bps! My bps are growing like weeds lol. I did make sure I got a male boa because I don't think I could personally handle a 10+ foot female on my own. Good to know though! And I only take my bps out with me like that if it's 75+ degrees outside, I'd never do that in the winter lol.
