Hypo Hoggs are just about as smokin as a snake can get in my book. They colors on a nice adult are amazing.

I like that one, but I don't want to spend very much money. I'm trying to get a pair of boas for 150$, or else I'll just get some Honduran Milk Snakes.

Yes, I was asking about Columbians. I'll probably have to get either Hogg Island or Milk Snakes.

waltah!
My advice would be to get the animal you like vs what will fit in a particular enclosure that you have. You generally won't find a nice pair of boas at that price. You could always pick one up and another later if you enjoy keeping the first.
Boas are very rewarding animals to keep.

I saw some for about 75 each, and I was planning on getting the female this year and the male next year. How much do Hogg Island boas usually cost?

Hogg Island usually run between $100-$250 or so depending on size I believe although I haven't shopped them lately. $75 is a good price if it's a solid seller and animal. It's not out of the realm of being reasonable.

Could Hogg Island boas live in a 4x2 cage? Even the biggest ones?

Don't just check out Hoggs. Most central american boas stay smaller than say 7 feet. Males may only get 5 feet.
Milk snakes are awesome!

I don't know which ones to get lol. What other Central American boas are that big? They just have to be cheap and small enough. I might get milk snakes instead, a male tangerine albino and 2 female tangerine het albinos or another morph.
