They are a great starter boa, and extremely easy to care for. There are many breeders, and being from one of the coldest regions Boa constrictor inhabit allow some room for error to a keeper monitoring temperatures. They have great feeding responses as well, and are a joy to handle. A note, they naturally grow more slowly than BCI and thus should be fed every 10-14 days for optimum health. It is better to take the extra time for you animal to reach maturity (if breeding is a goal) and provide a longer and better life for the snake.

Get a good plastic cage, thermostat, and reliable heat source.
