if you want a retic look into a sd retic, or even a white lipped python. as far as boas, look into dumerils, I love mine. she is a heavy body snake (4 foot at 1000g) compared to my arabesque that is 4 foot at 500g. If you want a true looker I personally like the BCL boas along with my purple Guyana that I have if you take a peak in my thread that I just made about him. I am housing all in 4x2 animal plastics tanks. Yes I take mine out a lot 2-3 times a week but I don't see an issue when they get larger in that size tank either.
