Always go with a carpet lol here comes the flood of posts that look just like this one lol red tails boas are sweet snakes as well. i have both, love them both as well but the carpets are much more interesting because they like to climb around and eat off their perches ... carpets ftw

My boa's are pretty active. My Nic more so than My redtail, but for the most part they are out and about quite often.

Re: which new snake??

I say go with the carpet. I am a total Morelia addict, with 7 carpets, 3 green tree pythons, and a Moluccan scrub. Carpets are curious, active snakes, and jungles have a gorgeous yellow and black pattern. I also have red-tails and the hypo salmons are my favorites. They get large though; 10-12 feet; so you have to be prepared for a 60 pound snake that is time and a half your height. Carpets top out at 6-8 feet on average and are very slender for their length. Both RTBs and carpets tend to be good eaters, but carpets are generally more tolerant of lapses in temps/humidity.
