Dwarf Boas?

I'm looking for information on Dwarf Boas. Does anyone here own any? Does anyone know who breeds dwarf boas?

I found this link helpful when I was looking.

I believe many people here care for smaller species and I was given this link from them.

Here's the site I keep eyeing where dwarf boas are concerned. :)

You mean something like these?

What were you looking to find out about them? Any specific type/locale of dwarf?

Yes! I currently have a BRB. but I would like to add a small boa to my collection. I looked around the web some and found out that dwarf boas do exist. i'm not sure which locale/type i want yet...trying to decide. any one have their favorites?
I cant have a huge snake...but I like the boas.
Are they easy to handle (calm not nippy)? What size enclosure would you recommend for an adult one?
How heavy do they get?

Steve, your pair are gorgeous. I think you said you were going to breed them, if I read the threads correctly...any success?

I won't be pairing these 2 up until this Summer.

cool. i checked out the thread over on cornsnakes.com. very nice dwarfs. sent you pm to get on waiting list for the offspring of these. good luck!

Sounds good.


I now have 14 on the list. No one wanted the adults at the time they were up for grabs but a lot are interested in babies.

These guys will catch on once they become more widely known about.

I'm more of a Nicaraguan boa fan, but if I ever get any, I'll probably be going for the hypo Nicaraguan boas.

The Cay Caulker and Saboee's are pretty neat as well. I'm not a big hog island fan, I just don't care for the way they look as much.

yeah the hoggs island ones look kinda bland.
and i'm hoping the dwarf BCIs do catch on...we have a problem down here in FL with people releasing large snakes once they get too big for them to handle.
and i'm not too fond of petstores that sell anacondas and retics to any Joe who walks in with a wad of cash.
and i know i cant house nor handle a large snake but i really like the look of them.
thanks all. and big thanks to Steve for deciding to try and breed these.
