Yes they are! If you live in a apartment or a small space, a Kenyan sand boa (if you have a really small space, then get a male) is an excellent choice. They are fairly not too expensive (counts on the morph and sometimes even gender) and are fairly docile snakes, but hog noses are great choices too for a small living space.

∙ 6y agoNo, I assume you are the person who wants a snake. Get a corn snake. They are easy to take care of and you will learn how to care for a snake. Boas and pythons are expensive snakes to take care of and they grow to become large snakes which eventually makes them dangerous to have without real experience to handle.

I just got bit by one on the finger this morning. It left two tiny holes that bled. Two holes on the top and two almost holes on the bottom of my finger. The teeth marks were close together. Not the normal scratched multi-hole appearance that you get from a regular boa bite.

How big is a baby Boa?
Newly hatched babies are 15-20 inches long. You mean, newly born? Boas, unlike pythons, give live birth. The eggs hatch inside the mother. Also it depends on the boa. A green anaconda baby is about 2ft., while a Kenyan sand boa baby is about 4-6 inches. Baby red tail boas are on average about a foot.
