What's a good boa for my first large snake?

I have had 2 corn snakes for about 3 months or so and I absolutely love them. I want to get a large constrictor too but I'm not sure what type to get. I'm leaning towards a boa because I heard that pythons are more prone to biting and anacondas are just too fat lol. There was a Argentine Boa at my local reptile store and I really liked him. Are they a good choice? Or should I just go with a Common Boa for my first big snake?

Update:

I actually enjoy having pet snakes as do many people, its a hobby.

    I suggest you start on the smaller side, even though a "smaller" boa will still require a lot of room and large meals. Look into dwarfs such as hogg islands, corn islands, crawl cays, and caulker cays.

    If my snake grew to become too significant to manage i could attempt to promote it to a breeder. The snakes that they trap must be euthanized. Since they have got been dwelling within the everglades and consuming who is aware of what they're more often than not significantly invested with inside parasites identical to imported snakes are. Relocating could also be a well inspiration however wherein could you rather relocate a ten foot carnivorous animal. the truly answer is folks must quit shopping animals that may develop to over 20 ft lengthy. Burmese pythons don't seem to be well pets for folks who don't seem to be very skilled. there are lots of snakes a snake fanatic should purchase that keep underneath 6 ft in period

    A Cay Caulkers red tailed boa would be a good first choice. Look them up on the net. they are relatively new.

    None because it's a worthless and dangerous pet which brings literally no enjoyment compared to the traditional pet which can actually be taken places and has a better personality?
