Are Boas more 'active' than Ball Pythons?

That must be so different from bps! Even my friendliest bp can get jumpy every once in awhile lol.

Lol, yeah even my puppy dogs can get startled by quick movements sometimes. Not the boa though, he never even flinches.

Haha, that's what makes me a little hesitant about them! The only time I've been around an adult RTB was in a pet store. He wrapped the end of his tail onto a guy's ankle and even just that little part of the snake was so strong! What if they don't want to let go?

Start carefully unwrapping from the tail. Mine hangs on for dear life when I try to put him away. And you have to be fast too, because as soon as you get him loose and try to set him down, he turns around and comes right back up my arm. Here he is hanging out watching tv with my daughter, he was there for probably 45 minutes before we dug him out so she could go to bed, lol.

That's pretty adorable in fact! I like knowing my pets -want- the attention, so perhaps a boa is the way to go for my next snake. Of course I'll always love my BP all the same! But as pretty as many colubrids are I get the feeling most of them would rather be left alone.

I'm not a colubrid fan. We had a corn, and I have to say they are my least favorite. I like the bps and boas, both for different reasons . If you want a colorful boa, look at albino's and sunglows, they are beautiful. My albino will be here next month, I can't wait.

Oh yes I've seen them, they are stunning! There are some morphs with pretty red hues as well, and varying patterns. Looove those.
Take plenty of pics of your new albino!

in my experience boas are more active in and out of the cage and especially more curious out of the cage. What I really love about my boas is that they have never refused a meal in over a year I have had them.
