    And looking at the bottom of the first link made me stop and think, "You know... books are helpful." So I'm gonna try getting a few books later today if my mom feels like it (colonoscopy in just a few hours XD), since she's been reading a lot lately and got a gift card for her birthday.
    The best boa book out there: http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Boa-C...5153237&sr=8-1.

    I've been looking at Tarahumaras as well. I really like them a lot, and as for care, I'm pretty sure it's the same care requirements as a regular BCC or BCI considering they're just different localities of the same two subspecies. The only major difference is the enclosure size.

    Then again, I could be wrong. I haven't found very much info on Tarahumaras specifically.

    They are gorgeous lil animals, though.

    Re: Smaller sized boas?

    I can recommend South Brazilian Boa Constrictor Amarali (BCA). I got mine from Barry Miller and he's pretty much fully grown at 5 feet and much smaller girth than my BP. Looks like a miniature BCC and temperment is great also.
    A little pricier than a BCI and requires careful feeding to avoid regurge.

    Re: Smaller sized boas?

    Candoia Boas of the South Pacific stay small. As far as BCI's go, Tahamaras AND Cay Caulkers are the smallest. The male Caulkers stay especially small and slender, with good muscle tone. I can attest that they make great pets. The Brazilian Amaralis (BCA) may be reasonably short, but they are thick (and some say nippy)!
