I definitely would. I used to keep boas and balls when I was younger. Like 8-16 or so. Then I sort of outgrew them and moved more into colubrids. Just to keep, not as breeding projects. As I got older, I actually thought I hated boas and balls, just for being so common. But the last few years I've been looking at everything from a breeding standpoint. I still don't have very much appreciation for boas but I'm totally in love with balls now after having them again for about 3 years. They can be challenging, which is actually a good thing. And there are so many variations now to collect, it's just impossible to run out of options with them. I'm a bigger fan of copperheads and retics in general but no other species can match what balls have to offer, as far as morphs and the ease of keeping many with limited space.
