it all depends on what you are looking for in a pet. if you want a pet that is cuddly and wants your attention then no. but if you are looking for a relly pretty, low maintance, unique pet than yes. boas do not like to be handled. they are verry tolerant to it. but they dont enjoy it. of all the snake species i would deffinatly go with a boa if that is what you relly want.
