Dear Mike,

Since there is no guarantee that any boa will be large later, and the fact you don't know a bcc from a bci (don't take that as a negative, it's positive here), why don't you rescue an large adult that needs a home? That way you can learn about these wonderful creatures, and you will be certain of the size of it too. It takes a while to get the hang of the proper culture. There's no fast way, you just have to make some mistakes yourself and learn. Every person here, even every expert was a brand new boa owner once. It is no crime to not know what you are doing yet. Read the sites, get some books, and join groups.

However, leave breeding to later, after you really are certain you know how to keep a boa. Novice boa hobbists almost never produce young at all and if they manage to, there is a whole lot of problems that can occur. Even including losing your pet. Learn to walk before you try to fly,
