And even a dwarf boa like a hogg will get bigger than a BP. But then again, BPs can be tricky feeders which can be frustrating for a beginner.

My first snake (now as an adult - I had plenty of colubrids as a kid) was a BP and we still have her, but I got my first boa a year later. I LOVE her. She is the most amazing snake I've ever had the pleasure of being around. I will have more. I don't think you'll be sorry with a boa so long as you are prepared for their adult size.
can hogs live in tubs ? or a terrieum
