Boas are one of the best reptile keeping decisions I’ve made since I began. Can’t speak highly enough about them. Do a lot of reading up and ask questions and you’ll do great. I’m 1yr into boas as of last week and have a bcc and an Argentine, currently yearlings, and love them both.
That said, the biggest difference that I’ve had to research and educate myself on is the feeding schedule. Definitely a more lean schedule than most pythons. Which is nice because that will generally translate into slower growth rates. So even if the particular species or subspecies that you become interested in is a larger growing animal, it will be a number of years before it attains that size. Meaning you get to learn its behavior and eccentricities and such as a tiny little neonate and grow along with it.
