Central American Boa
Many of you may have heard about me purchasing a burmese python, this fell through as the pet store did not get him in when they were supposed to. I am now looking into Central American Boa's. A local pet store has them for $69.99 right now, the babies are very small and dark. Could someone offer some advice on this species, I have kept many reptiles in the past and can handle a boa, though only have kept python species in the past. Any advice is appreciated.

If you want a boa, I would suggest a BCI. They are such amazing boas, and most are extremely docile. They run from about $75-125 depending on where you get them. Jeff Ronne is one of the best IMO.....also Tom McCarthy is a great guy. I havent bought from either of them, but if I decide to get a boa they would be my firist choices.
