I prefer the red tailed boas tbh. My male is very chill, and darker than my slightly temperamental female. And I see them often, and feed them jumbo rats. Substantial heft, but I haven't been in a situation with them where I needed "help" handling them. I do have to hook the female, but the male can be just lifted out.

It it should be mentioned that my boa hook is basically a golf club with the club removed and a bend in it. My regular hook - well it would never have gotten around my boas lol.

With your options, I would chose the Columbian. Every species has individual personalities. So unless you buy an adult you are never guaranteed to get the docile pet you have in mind. So go with the one you like best. Columbian has more of the behaviors you are looking for, so think on it
