I think other than the size their care is actually pretty simple comparatively speaking to other herps. It's more a matter of how you want to address added cost of rats vs mice and if you can afford the housing. There is also the consideration of this species being considered potentially dangerous in some city limits and also obviously you have to take precautions in general with any snake, but particularly with something that has the size to be dangerous to humans. Basically I can say hey little cousin 9 years old not stupid) hold this corn snake walk to another room and come back. No way would I leave said kid with a 6-9 foot boa.

Edit: I have no first hand care experience with the common boa constrictor just those are the things I considered when I was considering one as a potential pet. Every adult I've ever held has been lapdog tame though.
