Boa or Ball Python?

[Rob]

I would almost argue that boas are a better beginner snake than ball pythons. In my experience, they are much better feeders and love to be taken out of their cages and cruise around. The only problem is the size that they eventually get to, which requires more expensive caging and food.

X2, I Boas are a better beginner snake. They feed like monsters, they enjoy being out and about and have a great personality. The only argument against it is they get big, but my response to that is they don't get huge over night. Once it reaches it's adult size you are no longer a beginner and are more then ready to continue taking care of it.
