Bah, Gophers, Pines and Bulls are all the same in personality.. It depends if they like you. lol
I have about 12 of those critters here and each one has a different personality.
5 bulls,
1 pine
6 gophers (various localities)
As for size, I say it should reach anywhere between 5.5 - 6.5 feet on average. I have a large female bull snake here that is over 6 foot.
Now the colors on the Capes tend to be a nice reddish color but you should see yellows, oranges and tans in that snake as well. They are very pretty but depending on the parents their color can vary.

I definitely recommend Pits. Mine is a Cape X Sonoran. He likes me, but can be a real handful if anyone else is around, if he is hungry, or if he is in a just pain bad mood. Sizes are mentioned above, and their colors can be googled to see their deep changing tones. Please let us know if you end up getting one, they are great.

Yeah, I really enjoy them and to be honest, what I like about them is that they get as big as Medium size boas and not the girth.

I believe this was the snake we saw several of at MARS this year. We were entranced but they were out of our price range. When we looked them up, care did not seem too bad. It's a possibility for the future. If you found one for a good price and have the space and time, I say go for it!

If you want a boa in a colubrids body, get a gopher. They are chunky, powerful and generally very placid if you work with them enough as babies. I had an albino sonoran gopher called Giraffe. He was a psycho for a wee while, then he mellowed right out.
Pits are just fantastic snakes. My favorite ever pit was Monty the rescue bull. He was over 6ft of sheer muscle. Yet he was as gentle as they come...

As morphs go, That is top of the line, its an applegate. They do command a high price.

DYK I got Giraffe for free? He was due to be frozen with the rest of his brothers and sisters because the breeder apaprently would rather do that than sell them for a lower price. DYK Giraffe eventually found a good home, but I wish I had just kept him for myself.
