First thing I would say is have you done any research?

Do you know how big a common boa is when fully grown? Do you know what size housing they need? Heating type? Same with a Coastal Carpet Python?

If they are going to be kept in your room and your nan doesn't like snakes then I would not suggest you get them! Maybe stick with corns until you have your own place. Or if your after something different maybe a King snake?

we have a variety of both species.......

although i much prefer my boas, most carpets will be handleable by one person whereas a boa might not be, that might be a deciding factor

cornsnakes, ratsnakes, bullsnakes, boas and day geckos
