Tiny albino boas?

[carolineleven]

I'm reviving this to ask, in case I won't get a bigger apartment anytime soon, if there are any albino dwarf boas, or if the bcc albinos are my only option? And in that case, if they're rare? I assume someone somewhere is working on dwarf albinos.

I've seen Dwarf Albino Boas for sale in the UK - there is one half way down the lost below - its £150 ....

I think you might be overstating how big a regular sized BCI gets. Even a full grown 6 foot female BCI only needs a 4x2x1 enclosure. If you got a male they would max out in the 5.5 foot range, and this would take 4 years to achieve. A dwarf boa will be smaller but not by much. Maybe 20% smaller. People overstate how big boas are routinely. The internet tends to consolidate pictures of giant 9-10 foot boas, but these are unique rarities.

I'd agree especially where the generally much smaller males are concerned .... I've heard about and seen some huge females though over the years though ..

I'm sure you have and so have I. But 99% of these giants have been power fed. Pushing a rat down a boas mouth every four days will make them huge, but there life span is vastly shortened
