Hey! I've never owned snakes before! Any suggestions?

If you like boas I say go for it. They aren't harder to take care of at all, at least depending on what type of boa you get. There are dwarf boa constrictors( usually island boas) that grow to 3-6 feet, some Bci that get bigger, and bcc that get even bigger! There are also other subspecies that are neat such as longicuada, amarali....etc.

Ya, the Hog Island Boa looked pretty nice! Some of my favorite snakes are Emerald Tree Boas and Green Tree Pythons, however, they are not beginner snakes from what I hear!

I can't comment on that since I've never owned those snakes( however I am getting a Gtp very soon), but I have heard they are very sensitive to husbandry mistakes compared to other snakes( higher humidity, lower temperatures)

Take a look at riobravoreptiles.com. This site has some good info on all the different types of boas.
