I have multiple BPs (one is a Spider female) and 3 boas currently, and I love each in their own way. If you want size, go with the boa (but be prepared for an actual cage - at least 4' long IMO but I recommend 6' for adult BCI/BCC females) but if you want more so a lap snake go with the BP (though all my boas are nice lap snakes as well). Just depends on what you think you'd enjoy more![]()
