Ive always been a boa man. When I relocated to the east coast I rehomed all of my boas. I got into balls because of how docile they were and the wife and kids had never been around snakes. They have all out grown them now, So I get to have boas again! Balls are kinda boring to handle. I prefer the way boas handle personally. T's are great because i'm still learning and completely fascinated by them where I was once afraid of spiders. lol
