You're reccomending Corn Islands to someone new to boas? Interesting. Personally if I were you I'd go with something cheaper as a first animal, personally I love my Nicaraguans, some are snappy and some are fine to deal with. But I think they're great. I don't do Colombian boas at all, I'm only interested in the Central American and Insular forms. All these are small, getting maybe 5 feet max.

sorry for the link, my pic refuses to size down no matter what I do.
