Hello, I am interested in keeping a boa as a pet but I have found the multitude of species and types to be a bit overwhelming. I currently have two ball pythons so am not a complete beginner with snakes but I have only owned them for a short time. Columbian boas seem to be pretty common but as I am looking for a pet I am wondering if some types of boas are more picky about humidity levels or are more nippy. I am also wondering if there are any resources out there that will make it easy for me to see the visual difference between all of these types of boas.



Any advice would be appreciated, Thanks
