Hello folks - Rehoming a Common Boa - Any thoughts??

[reteptseb]

Hi folks,

we already have a fully grown large corn snake (5ish feet) and are considering rehoming a 6.5 ft, 6 year old tame Common Boa.
Never had a Boa before, but pretty sure we can look after him well and give him a good place to live and make sure he's very well looked after.

My question is this...
I have a 5yr old and also a 5 month old baby, I wanted to seek peoples opinions on the safety aspect (in the unlikely, but not impossible event) should the boa ever escape? Bottom line number one priority are the kids.

I love snakes and am confident with them, however the most important thing is safety, and I am concious a Boa is a STRONG snake.

Do we have any other Boa owners in similar circumstances here that can give advice/thoughts on this prior to making my decision?

Thanks folks.
