I appreciated your honesty in the post when you asked about ssp. abreviations (BCC, BCI, etc). It sounds like you know you want a big Boa, but that you don't know a whole lot about keeping Boa yet.

There's nothing wrong with that! This is not a criticism, just a suggestion. Take your time. Read everything you can find about keeping and raising healthy boa, and then it'll be time to start looking for a purchase. If you want a healthy, 20 year keeper, you need to be prepared to provide decent husbandry from the first day, and that only happens by educating yourself about these animals before you buy.

Corns, kings, BP's and some others are much more forgiving with husbandry errors. You can kill a young boa without trying very hard.

I know you'll do your research and when you're fully prepped, you'll provide good care. Enjoy.
