Hello All:



I am looking for suggestions regarding the purchase of a new boa. I've owned a boa before, so I understand the husbandry part of owning one. I'm wondering about suggestions as for size. I am not considering balls or kingsnakes, because I prefer the look of boas much better.



But, I'm not looking to get a snake that is going to be big enough that it will require rabbits for food. The biggest I'm prepared to feed it would be f/t jumbo rats.



If I went with a male columbian would I be ok? I've had a Hogg Island before, and I'm not too keen on them because it ended up being the meanest snake I've ever seen...I traded him.



Your suggestions are much appreciated.
