Hogs are an awesome choice and a good first boa! They don't get too big (males tend to stay around 4-4.5 ft) and they are awesome feeders! I keep mine at about 80 on the cool and a hot spot around 88 or so. Good temperment comes with handling when they are young and they are very inquisitive snakes. Mine changes colors all the time and yes, it is pretty amazing! Find a good breeder that sells PURE Hog Island Boas. Here are a couple pics. Good luck!!
