Hi all,

Well, I'm not a true reptile newbie, but I am totally clueless about Boa constrictor constrictor and constrictor imperator. There are just so many morphs, localities, and varieties that I am getting completely lost in it!

So, I figured I would just ask for general info from you all. I'm interested in potentially acquiring a boa as my next snake (I currently have a Brazilian rainbow boa). I'm primarily looking for a locality that won't exceed 6 or 7 feet as an adult male. I'm particularly drawn to varieties that have a light, clean cream or ivory coloration with dark saddles, and of course, that beautiful, characteristic red tail.

Any recommendations? Sorry for being so vague, but I am really new to these guys. I've had a hard time finding a good "introductory" page describing everything, so I thought it'd be best to ask here first. Please be nice and have mercy!
