Just the ad I linked in my first reply. I would suggest you do a bit more research. Temperament can be a factor for a species but next to corn snakes boas are a great starter imo. Maybe you can find a pet store or a reptile zoo, something like that near you and see if you can handle different snakes, see how you are with medium to large snakes. Sometimes a snake can be a real challenge but the more you handle your snake at the right times, the more social they are. Remember if you order a snake that you run the risk of getting a butthole snake, so check out the breeder reputation. A good breeder/handler can give you an idea of the snakes temperament. There are so species that are aggressive and don't want to be handled but most boas are easy going if you take good care of them. Snake owners are like dog owners in respect to the breeder they own. There are always detractors to any type of pet and opinions are like armpits, everyone has them and a lot of them stink.
