Adult boa size

How big do boas get? My rack is 48x18 inches, and I can use any bin that I can fit in it. I don't want to get a rosy or sand boa, I want to get one like a Columbian boa. I have read 6-13 feet, but I want to get one that stays smaller. Are there any that look like the red tail boas that stay within about 6 feet?

An adult male Colombian will generally get to about 6 ft, but some will get larger or could be smaller. I have an '04 male that's under 6'.
Hogg Island boas are generally smaller. They are gorgeous snakes and not overly expensive.
Most would recommend at least a 4'x2' enclosure for an adult male Colombian.

Check out Hog Island boas. They stay within that range in size and are beautiful IMO. I have a hypo/hog island that I picked up from PMHerps and his colors are amazing...

I don't like the Hogg Island boas as much, they looked like they didn't have any pattern. I like the Columbian Boas because they have morphs, like anery and albino. Can adult males and females stay in one 4x2' cage for each snake?

MOST adult males can be kept in a 4x2 enclosure. I say most because even males have ability to get up around the 8' mark. I had a male about 12yrs ago that was just under 8'. Not all do of course, but that's something to be prepared for.

Hogg Island boas are pretty gorgeous in person. The colors in pics don't do them justice.

How big do females get? I want to get a pair if they stay small enough.

I mean they also don't seem to have the same pattern, with lower contrast than Columbian Boas. I will look up pictures of Hogg Island.

I'm not as hot on the pure hog island pattern myself, but I love the hypo/hog cross... Here's my male a couple months ago. Another thing I love is the changes in color phases that these guys go through over the course of the day...

If you're talking about Hogg Island boas they range from about 4-6'.
Colombians range from 6-10'.
