This message was originally written by morti:
There are several things you need to consider first. A Boa is an animal that will live for a long time under proper care (up to 30 years) so if you are the kind of person who has a hard time with commitment (do I wear the Black socks or the blue ones?) a boa might not be for you. Also, that cute little palm sized baby that you held at the last show will not stay that way for long. They can get up to 7-12 feet long and weigh quite a lot too. There is also some financial consideration. A 7' snake needs a BIG enclosure. I keep mine in a 5' X 3' X 3' cage and I am forever thinking that I want a bigger one. They will also eat you out of house and home. Large rats galore! If you do decide to get a boa, do your research first and talk to people here and on places like [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img] on the Boa Forum. Good Luck!
-Your Sick Uncle Morti.

check out the date on this from natas! I thought it should be brought back to the top so people can realize owning snakes isn't just as easy as they think.....

Me thinks is kind of like preaching to the choir. Most of the people that come by looking for info or interested are already doing the right thing, looking for info.
Most of the "buy it at the show for $50 and throw it away later" group would not take the time to come read about it... unfortunately. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

If the majority vote says so, I will mark the topic sticky so it can stay near the top of the FAQ forum for ever and ever. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Better yet, modify it to include other species and make a misc. care sheet out of it! [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
Just leave out the K/S part next time!

I think its great to reiterate the importance of doing your research. I am a newbie to these forums, and since you have all been so gracious at answering my beginner questions, I am the proud parent of a baby RTB and a baby Ball. The confidence as a beginner that was instilled into me because of the wealth of knowledge available in these forums is unmatched. Thank you, and keep doing what you are doing, it helps.
