You certainly aren't alone! My snake is actually right here next to me as I'm typing this. Mine's a rainbow boa. I'm not just obsessed with snakes though; I'm obsessed with all kinds of animals. Snakes are one of my favorites though.
I hope the new snake works out for you. I've never had a rosy boa, but 4 ft is a more manageable size than most. It certainly makes feeding time easier.

Woot! I'd really like to have a Jungle Carpet Python or a Bumblebee Ball Python however I'm going with something smaller just so that way I can get my hopefully guy to be used to snakes haha. I went to PetSmart, which I get my snakes from BHB Reptiles, and held a Rosy Boa and fell in love with the little dude. I'm so excited about it!
I've never had a Rainbow Boa but I've held several.. a lot of people I've met think that Boas have a worse temperment than Ball Pythons but I beg to differ.. I have a friend who keeps several boas and I've handled all of them, never even had one look like it wanted to bite me. I have another friend who has four ball pythons and two of them have struck at me. Knock on wood I've never been bit but they can be pissy creatures haha.
