Another larger interesting boid might be a Dumeril's Boa. They rarely get to 6 feet, are commonly bred (although not as much as a few years ago) and are docile. They are also pretty terrestrial.



A Rainbow Boa would be another interesting choice. They come in a variety of color phases (subspecies) some of which are very colorful, are very hardy, and usually quite docile.



Of course, there are a number of other good small boid choices...

Ball Python

Spotted/Children's Python

Short-tailed Python

any of the Sandboa species

Rosyboa

small races of the Carpet Python (Jungle, Irian Jaya, etc)
