    Boas dont have eggs they give live birth, and i think they have more teeth.

    Actually boas have eggs. They are called ovoviviparous. This means they hold the eggs within their bodies and incubate and hatch them inside the body and then give birth to the live young. Pythons lay eggs.

    Boas have more teeth yes and biochic is right there, so much cooler, I would get a boa over a python, even tho I have always wanted one of each :)
