∙ 12y agoNo, no species of boa is venomous , boas are constrictors, therefore they strangle there prey to kill it .If you are thinking of getting a boa think of getting a Brazilian red tail boa because i have one and her name is Nagini.
I would recommend a Rosy boa or something of the like for a beginner, but if you have the equipment (huge cage, bedding, humidity control, etc./money for a Red Tail, then by all means....
