Boas or Python?

[Crusader71]

I'm going to an Expo in Oct and I'm torn between a Ball Python or a Boa. So I was wondering if you can give me pros and cons and what you would recommend?

Depends on the type of boe you're looking at.

How much space can you devote to your next pet? Some boas get large (8 ft +) while others stay smaller than ball pythons?

Some, like tree boas, are also more highstrung and snappy then others.

I have more then enough space but looking at soemthing in the 6-8 feet range and something not too snappy.

No one can tell you what you're going to want to clean up after for the next 15 years. Get what interests you. You would do well to do a bunch of research and come back with more specific questions.

6-8 feet and not too snappy sounds like a male BCI to me
