Hi, and welcome to Boa Care. My name is Billy Deakin and this is my first post on what I hope will become a useful resource for other reptile and boa enthusiasts like myself.

I started keeping reptiles over 25 years ago and over that time have amassed a lot of experience and knowledge. I’ve kept many snakes, lizards and other exotics over the years, but my favorites have always been the boas! There is something about boas, and in particular the boa constrictor, which always draws me to them. They are not only a beautiful looking and fascinating snake, they are also often very docile which makes them great for handling.

I’ll be adding more and more content to this site as time goes on. If you have any questions please email and if you would like to send me any photos of your own boas I’ll be happy to post them here for the whole world to see!

I hope you enjoy the site, and find boas as fascinating as I do!
