"If I had a dollar for every ball python keeper just on this forum that gets a boa and is blown away and excited about how much more interesting captives they make than their bp's.....
... Well I'd probably be able to afford a couple more boas lol."
That is so true. The best thing about our shy, little, hiding Royal is that she got me into boas. They are a great "gateway" snake but whoa,, BC's are something special and it doesn't have to be a fancy color or pattern to be interesting.
Yes you did tell me so LOL. I really am so comfortable with the species that I now hope I get a giant of a male. I would have no issues with a 9 foot female. Getting bitten has already happened so that fear is gone.
The only other snake I can see possibly being intrigued by to the extent of a boa would be a male dwarf or SD retic.
