Hi i am a python guy but have lately been very interested in boas and would like to know what you think is the best looking Boa Constrictor. I am not worried about size as i have plenty of space but am looking for a very nice looking one. I like the guyanese boa but you may prove me wrong!!!
thank you very much
Peter
pics would really help too

Milton as in 'Milton Keens' in England, UK? I woudl agree with you on the 'guyanese boa'

Heres a site of some boa's to look from, this is a very good site for you;

Personally, I like the Suriname Redtails. I just love the colors (mine has some real nice pink tones and a bright copper tail). They are docile as a rule, very good feeders and grow to a good size.

An adult Argentine (Bco) with it's black 'powder coat' finish has to be one of the most impressive looking of the 'natural' boa constrictors; and despite their questionable reputation are normally just as docile as any other Bc.

Gus always post pics of his boas and they will make anybody drool. No way to choose the most beautiful.

Hmmm for the natural look it has to be a Surinam, and for the morphs it can be Sharp Sunglows.

I must agree qith Tonyj. I love my BCO Argentine! Beautiful Boa's! But it's easy to tell by the other post's... it a matter of personal opinion, I would just look around and see what color's, patterns and temperments are to your liking who really cares what we like! On that note: Here's Rosy!

I dont know very much about the boa family and really dont know what type of boa i am looking for yet. I do like the pics of Rosy very nice. I would like to get peoples thoughts of all different types of boas and then maybe have a better understanding before i buy. I have always been about the pythons but have seen some really nice boas that have caught my eye and am tempted.
thanks for you thoughts but i am still up in the air.
who knows maybe santa has a few in his bag
