Don't forget the Dumerils boa. They are not as common or have any pretty morphs compared to the more popular boas... But they are beautiful in their own natural look and they are underrated. They don't grow too big (about 5-6 feet), they are docile even as babies and have not known to bite even out of fear and easy to handle. Mine is a joy to keep.
The only con about them is getting to feed as babies. They require some humidity, they stress easily, prefers lower temps (no higher than 85F), and can be picky about what they eat even after they start eating.
Lastly, and this can be seen as con for breeders, they grow very slow. I don't know how long it takes to grow a BCC or BCI but it takes Dumerils boas about 5 years to mature and longer for the female to gain proper weight if you want to breed them. Hence, due to low popularity as well, they are not easy to find and will require some online digging and trade show shopping.
