smallest locality of boa

hey does anyone happen to know what the smallest locality of boa are

I'm going to take a wild guess that maybe the Bluefields are.

yeahi was just looking at those

The smallest locality according to Gus would be the Tarahumara(sp?) of Mexico.
I have heard of females having healthy litters at under 3' long

The Erycines? They include the Kenyan Sand Boa (males 2', females under 3'), the Rosy Boa (males 2.5', females usually no more than 3'), the Rubber Boa, and the Cameroon Burrowing Boa.

Is that what you meant?

Melissa:

The term "locality boa" usually refers to boa constrictor subspecies.

The smaller locality boas are:

- The Sonoran Desert Boa which has the Tarahumara Mt. Boa as a locality subspecies.

- The Cay Caulker Boa

- The Isla De Maize Boa

- The Crawl Cay Boa

- The Hog Island Boa

- The Venezuelans are, on the average, smaller than comparable BCCs, just as some of the Nicaraguan Boas are smaller than comparable BCIs.

The Sonorans are the smallest I've seen, with our 5 year old male measuring in at less than 48".

FYI, the smaller localities tend to be a bit nippier than the larger boas.

This is, of course, a very broad, general reference. Individuals can display different temperaments.

Again, nippier is a relative term.

Our dwarves are quick to bite only when in their enclosures. When out, they are calm and very handle-able.

Compared to a white-lip python or a candoia they are outright calm.

none of my dwarf are big biters, they just play the Bluffing game where they his and gape.
