Central American Boa Temperament?

Are they docile and active snakes? How are their eating habits? Thanks!

Re: Central American Boa Temperament?

Everything I've read about Ca. subspecies is they can be more bitey as babies and generally smaller so smaller food. I don't own any Ca except a salmon hypo. female. I got her roughly 1 month after a regular BCI male of the same size. In their first year the male out grew the female by roughly 500 to 600 grams. The boy now is going on 1500g while the girl is hardly pushing 800g. Both were fed appropriately sized meals with the same feeding schedule. The boy is also a lot longer.
