I just wanted to mention, someone previously said that Columbian boas stay in the 4-7' range, and that's on the small side for a male. Females often reach in the 8-10' range obviously dependent on feeding and husbandry. I own 2 boas(listed in my signature) and I fully expect my girl to be 8-10' for a full grown BCI.

You said you want a "medium sized" snake. I wouldn't consider a Columbian BCI to be "mid-sized."

And as far as Venomous snakes, if you ever get become dead set on one, look into the eastern or northern copperheads, hog nose, or false water cobras. Rear fanged snakes are "safer" and a better way to get into hots.

But I'd recommend some other non-venomous snakes first.
