Yes,
You will eventually want a boa constrictor if you don't choose to get one now.
Its nice to have a "New World" species in the collection. All around, they are excellent. They are big, but not too big. The are active but not annoyingly so or to the point of being unmanageable.
They are semi arboreal if you set them up for climbing.
And in all honesty, my SD X Dwarf X Mainland retic is 2 years old now and likely not 8 feet. The age of 2 is when the growth slows a lot.
I don't spend muck on food either. The breeder told me large rats fill suit him for the rest of his life. I mix rats and quail. I won't rule out very, very small rabbits, but that is only for variety.
I feed every 3-4 weeks and don't have issues with pushing, and really don't have to clean up after him much more than the others, though I do tend to find more waste with the retic.
Back to boas,,,,, I think if you were even half way excited about the first deal, you will be twice as excited about a nice locality boa constrictor that you researched and picked out on you own.
At this stage I'd say get the boa.
