    Re: Can't decide on which boa to get.

    Personally, I started with my brb, and humidity is NOT hard to keep if you have a little imagination and creativity!!! You can make hide boxes that hold in 80+% humidity, which is the greatest thing ever. I got her for $80 because I was a repeat customer to him. She was such a tiny baby, and she's still small, but she's got some weight to her now. They are very curious little buffers and do love to climb and look around at everything in reach!!

    A bci was my 2nd boa, got the hog island and she also is super curious. Requirements for husbandry are super similar to ball pythons, so its not hard to make the switch over. They are very bright animals at night and get darker in the day, showing their patterns much more than usual. They get 6ft at most as female.

    My 3rd boa was a dumerils, she's kind of "shy" but I think with constant handling as she grows, this will change. She's super sweet when out of her enclosure, and the pink blushing on them is just so cool. As said, females get around 8ft and are heavy bodied animals, so they get bigger than beeps as you asked for.

    My 4th and NOT my last one lol, was my yellow anaconda. I can't tell you how she was as a baby, but she's super docile now and will get around 12ft at full size. They are big, so this is probably not something you are looking for. But my opinion is, with care and handling, they are not as mean as people say....just hate to see people who have never owned one to say they are 100% random....if that was true, I'd have been bitten a lot more than once lol.

    Anyway, the dumerils or a smaller bci seems to be right for you, check out videos online and see what they look like and how they act and how others house them.
