If you want to be absolutely sure your boa will stay small and tame, get an adult boa that is small and tame. There's plenty in rescues, and plenty for sale on kingsnake. You can get a dwarf, but that's no guarantee if you get a baby, because size is partly dependent on the feeding schedule too. If you get an adult you can make sure it is a docile individual too. If I were you, I'd look for a former pet who was handled a lot and is the right size. If you try to go with a reputable breeder you might have a hard time finding a snake that was handled a lot, because breeders usually have a LOT of snakes. Look for a family pet. Most boas are great eaters, and will stay tame as long as you handle them a at least twice a week or more. You're ready, good luck.
