Red-tail boas come in various morphs such as pastel. The smaller and more docile columbian (or central american) boa also comes in different morphs. However, if you plan on breeding, I would like to point a few things out: you should not breed a species of reptile until you have owned it for a year and you know the species and its habits. Also, breeding snakes (unless you are a commercial breeder with hundreds of snakes and a very large facility) typically costs more money than it earns. You have to pay for food, substrate, enclosures, an incubator, heating elements, and you may even have to keep some of the hatchlings if you end up with more than you can sell.

They love to watch snake movies where people are crushed to death. more seriously, they can vary their diet to the available "food" in a given niche.

Instead of laying eggs, they give live birth (they retain the eggs internally until they hatch).
