Planning on boa, but dunno what to get..

coluberking25 Oct 29, 2006 11:19 AM

Hey I plan to get my first boa soon, but I don't know what to get. I am being offered a Colombian Rainbow Boa, but I have also been leaning towards a Hog Island Boa. Like I said, I have never owned a boa before. Which boa would be better to start off with? Thanks.

Well according to the person who's looking to get his rainbow a new home, Colombian rainbow that is, it is quite tame once it's picked up. However I'm not looking just for temperament. Like I said I have never owned any type of boa before and would like to get one that would be good for a first time boa owner, one that isn't too difficult to keep. Agian I'm debating between a Hog Island or CRB
