    Re: Best Dwarf Boa imperator locality

    I highly recommend checking out the "Brian Boas" Youtube channel for this! He keeps Tarahumaras, both of the Cay localities, and Corn Islands, and has done specific videos on those first three localities. The Corn Island boas don't have their own specific video yet, but they frequently appear in others. Based on what I heard in these videos, Corn Island boas are much more active than other boas, and almost colubrid-like in their behavior. If you're looking for a chill shoulder pet, this isn't the locality for you. The Cay localities are semi-arboreal and appreciate the opportunity to climb in their enclosure, but otherwise seem to have your typical boa temperament. Tarahumaras (and other Mexican localities) can be a bit hissy as babies, but ultimately mellow out as adults.

    I personally own a Sonoran and found her to be very docile and inquisitive. She hasn't hissed or snapped at me since she was four months old! She's mellow when she's out and is content to either sit with me or poke around a little bit. She was also very cooperative when I needed to treat a rub on her nose -- once she found a good place to lay her head down, she let me clean her nose without flinching away or making a fuss. Most Sonorans will be a bit hissier than her as babies -- and they can hiss quite loudly, from what I understand -- but most ultimately mellow out with a bit of maturity and frequent, gentle handling. They're highly underrated boas, in my opinion. If you're interested, I can point you in the direction of a couple of good breeders.
