I was in the same spot you are now about one year ago. First of all props to FortheSnakelady for staying with what she personally enjoys.Let that be your guide when deciding on a boa. You will be your happiest when you TAKE TIME to figure everything out, get your caging and all the rest of the puzzle together before you get the snake. I just finished doing it all and I'm absolutely thrilled.
There are tons of opinions and none of them are wrong. I personally like locality boas. Whether it be true red tails (BCC) or locality BCI's.
I found my perfect snake by looking around at some of the well known breeders. I ended up with a Barranquilla Colombian BCI.
Size from what I'm told by his owners will be 6-7'. They stay less massive than the females and my guy is already docile.
You don't have to have a BCC to have a pretty tail.
Lots of color. Even with crappy I-phone pictures.
The boas to me are more active and more fun than BP's. They like to climb more and I personally relate to them better. However I still have great love for our Royal.
Here is my guy finishing up his dinner.
