    What are some smaller boas?

    What are some smaller sized boas? Im talking 8ft or less. Im thinking about a RTB, but not sure if i want one b/c of the size. But for the most part I want a boa.

    Re: What are some smaller boas?

    Hog island boas stay smaller.. 4-6' is pretty average.

    Here's my big female hog island:



    They can be very orange.. you can see some of it here.. this is the male:



    Dumerils boas are another good bet.. 5-7' is the average.

    Re: What are some smaller boas?

    Rosy Boas are VERY small boas. Only about 3 ft average. Maybe a hogg island boa, and I've heard a (bluefields boa?) doesn't get too big either.

    Kenyan Sand Boas, Rainbow Boas, Rubber boas are a few that come to mind for me.

    A male RTB has a high chance of being 7-8 feet.

    Re: What are some smaller boas?

    If you want a RTB that grows under 8', get a male. Here's a list of smaller boas that are widely bred and easy to get: the Rosy Boa (4' maximum), Kenyan Sand Boa (3' maximum), and the Hog Island Boa.

    My snakes:
    0.1 Kenyan Sand Boa ~Nephthys~ (aka "Linky")

    In a better place:
    1.0 Pastel Western Hognose ~Charon~ 10/3/07-4/24/09

    If you need/want to know anything about Hognose snakes, just ask me.

    Nics are a good bet. This guy is two and is right around 4 feet.
