I'm really not a boa person either. Many years ago, I accepted a yearling BCI that no one wanted...she was extremely 'bitey' (very afraid-she'd changed homes several times) & while I've never been drawn to large boas, I wasn't worried about a yearling, & I cured her biting pretty fast. My intent was always just to calm her down & then find her a "boa person", but she grew so slowly that for some years I thought she might be one of those that stays smaller. I'm not a real big person myself, so when she got to be 7 1/2' long after 12 years, I also found the right home for her...I can still visit, she's not far away & her new 'mom' is a vet-tech where I take my dogs. It was hard to do...I missed her snuggling around me watching movies, but I don't miss the wrestling match to get her back in her cage. But hey, you might consider something like an Aussie Spotted python...they are small but really a hoot! Very alert, plenty of prey drive , but easy to house & handle.
I do think boas are beautiful & we don't all like the same things...looks like the OP made a good choice.
Then again thats probably why I've pretty much run out of space in my reptile room as well lol
