Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Temperaments vary from snake to snake. Columbians are typically very even tempered. Go to a reptile show and find a neonate that handles well and you shouldn't have any problems. Good luck with your decision.

Dumeril's boa!
I have a pair and my roommate has 1.2 Dumeril's boas. In all the time we've had these gems they have never once tried to bite us! Very docile species! They are also a bit smaller than Columbians....only getting to about 10 feet max.

They all seem to vary, some to avoid are the nicarauguan(sp?) which is normally sold as a central american, and the argentine boas.. The key is to get a baby and raise it yourself..

10 feet is extremely large for a Dumerils, 6-7 feet is normal all though 9 feet has been recorded before in a captive animal and is the only case I have heard of to be that big. They are great boas, I have them myself and never get tired of them.
Most boas are good if you start of with a neonate, as Art suggested go handle a couple at a show and find one you like. A little bit of gentle handling is all they need to settle down and become great animals to hold.

Argentines
Yeah, I was going on stuff I read about Dums....10 feet being the max. Mine aren't quite that big yet...more like 4 feet....lol. I also have Argentine boas. Yes, some can be downright nasty, but mine are gentle...that is, after they got through the open mouth hissing, bluff striking phase as babies...lol. Now they have settled down and are well mannered. The other guys on here are right though....whatever you get, start with a baby. They are much easier to work with and tame down (if neccessary).

the only problem with Dumeril's is that they don't seem quite as "comfortable" being held or draped. This may be a reflection of the fact that they are more terrestrial than BCI (not to mention that they are not all that closely related...not even the same genus). *That should not be taken to mean that they don't tolerate it well...it's just that their different body & lifestyle seems to have left them a bit "stiffer" and less "clingy" than BCI.* I will agree that dumerils are calm and handleable, even as neonates (it's actually nice to have a group of babies that doesn't hiss, bite, or otherwise freak out, lol).

i just sold a ncaraguan boa that was as sweet natured as you would ever want a snake to be . she may have been the exception , but as others have said it varies from one snake to the next . even in the same species .

Anthony, I see that you are fairly new here...advertising animals for sale in the discussion forums is inappropriate
