Here is my two cents worth .. I have a Hogg .. nice looking and good snake.. hisses 50% of time when first take out and then very tractable after perhaps a minute. I have a pair of Tarahumara which are now 2 years old and the female hisses more than male while in tub .. once out both are very easy to handle (Mike Beach is the man to go to for these). I do have BCI boas but range in size .. all are easy to deal with but have different personalities. Of the ones discussed here ... my recommendation would be a Dumerils .. I have a pair and both are amazing to deal with and very easy to handle ... both are 6 feet and have never hissed, struck, or been difficult to deal with ... they are my go to snake if someone wants to hold a bigger snake.

Hope this helps a little --- Ace/Alan
