Hi gang.

Mrs is thinking of another snake now. She has a spotted python and wants something else small, manageable and friendly. Rosy boa seems like a good choice but just wondering what others think, and maybe what other snakes would work?

Cheers!

Just had a look and have to say, not my cuppa tea.

I like a boa to look like a boa if you know what I mean.

She just wants something that isn't going to grow that big and is pretty placid, and a rosy seems to fit the bill for her. But I'm sure there are other flavours out there too that would be suitable.

Royal Pythons are a nice small but heavy bodied snake(yeah bit of a contradiction lol). They aren't everyones cup of tea but I love mine, he is totally different to my cornsnake and a million miles away from my Hogg Island Boa. A bit shy but a lovely snake when you get an understanding with them about their needs.

I have both Rosy and Sand Boas in my collection and they are beautiful, I also have crawl cays, sonoran, vera cruz and tarahumara boas. I've had Royals too but only looked after them for friends and gotten a few bad eaters, eating again.
