 Which Boa is for me?

Im deciding what kind of Boa i want to get just need some help deciding. I want one that wont get 100 feet long nor fat bodied, deciding on either Red tail, brazilian, or dumeril just wondering which of these species get maybe max 6-7 feet in length are not very aggressive due to the fact i have a 19 month old baby Thanks for all responses

Hmm..well, if you’re not a beginner then i wouldn’t really recommend a tiny Boa like a Sand or Rosy Boa. Umm..perhaps a Columbian Red Tail or a Dumeril. If you know how to keep track of hunidity and everything then maybe a Brazilian RainBow Boa.

Look up hogg island boas and and brazilian rainbows for sure.
Argentine boas are pretty cool too. You could find some nice Amazon tree boas that are nice but most are known to have pretty aggressive tempremants. Great display snakes though. They get between 5 to 8 feet but stay fairly skinny and mainly arboreal.

i would say colombian red tail for the fact the usual length is maxed out for male at about 6-7 feet...Another thing is that red tails are very calm and usually not very nippy...Every red tail is different but from my experience red tails are very doc-tile
