Hey, RTB. I kinda poofed on you guys thanks to a slew of new medical issues and just.... life. I have been thinking long and hard for a while and I think I've come to the conclusion I need to rehome both Kitten, my boa as well as my crested and start over fresh. I have been having issues with not understanding Kittens body language and have taken multiple pretty hard hits. Now she is a decently large snake at this point and I'm a 5'2, 130lb woman. I have taken monitor bites and other large snake bites but this girl hits HARD and I have gotten to a point that I am afraid to not only stick my hand in her bin but handle her all together. That is no life for me OR her. I plan on rehoming her. Once she and my crested have been rehomed, I am going to start saving for or building an enclosure. I'd like to start off around 5x2x2. (Please give me a reason I should start bigger or smaller if necessary, I need to know.) Once I have an enclosure, I will begin filling it. I am looking to create not only an enriching enclosure but a display (while I can). Once this enclosure is set up completely, I will be setting aside money to purchase a boa. I will be looking to purchase a male but if I fall in love with a female and she's in my price range I don't mind. Regardless, I am looking for a baby baby. I want to be able to raise this snake from as early an age as possible. As he gets too large for his enclosure, I will either order or build an (at least) 8x3x3 enclosure.
Now, all of this brings me to a question - I have heard that the 'prettier' morphs can be royal a**holes. Is this true? I'm not looking to spend thousands on a snake - more than likely more like three to five hundred - but I would like to know what kind of restrictions I am going to have directly related to morph. I am looking for a pet - and I like to touch my pets - so I don't want to fall for a morph that isn't going to work for me personality-wise.
As a last note, if anyone may be interested in either my boa or my crested gecko, please shoot me a private message for further discussion. My boa is not aggressive I just need to step back and have something to do while I learn more about them and become better prepared to own one. The poor gecko just doesn't get the attention it needs.

Ox Maiden
