Excellent advice from the others. If you don't have a lot of constrictor experience I would go with the Colombian boa as they can be some of the calmest and most forgiving of snakes and get a blood python later. That being said I have raised red, black, and Borneo bloods. With proper environment and gentle handling all of them are tame and easy to handle. Getting a captive bred and born baby from a good breeder goes a long way in this. Bill
