Can't Decide...

[Evenstar]

I own bp's, bloods, and boa's. While I love my bp's I find myself spending much more time handling my boa's than any of my others. This is because how much more outgoing that they are. They can be out for hours, and don't seem to stress out from it. My Coral Albino boa will sit on my shoulders for hours on end, and hates going back into her enclosure. My boa's also tend to be visible much more often. They use their hides, but almost always have their heads out.

When it is all said and done the decision is completely up to you, but for me if I could only choose one type of snake to own it would be a boa....

I totally agree! I have 1 BP and 3 boas and if I could only have 1 type of snake, it would be a boa. They are just sooo much more fun to hold! I adore my BP, Ella, and she's fantastic and fortunately she's not going anywhere, but my boas are amazing creatures and each one is a joy to have out. Ella will stress after a short period of time, whereas the boas will happily hang out on my shoulders all day if I let them. They are the ultimate lap snake if you ask me....

Yes, it really is your decision - if want a slightly smaller snake, go with that spider. But if size (and everything that goes with it - i.e. a larger cage, etc) doesn't matter, I personally think, in the long run, you might be happier with a boa's personality. Just my thoughts....
