My first (and only) snake is a western hognose. He's been easy to handle, not too squirmy. He eats well and will even eat in front of me now. I chose a male because I didn't want a huge snake. I've since learned about some of the smaller boas, but lots of people have boas. Not too many (in my area) have hognose. And darn it, I like his cute shovel nose!
