    smallest boa?

    i'm trying to find out the smallest type of boa...
    so far with my research it seems the kenyan sand boa (males) only get around 15".

    anyone know any other boas that are around this size or smaller?
    THANKS in advance!

    rosy boas are beautiful and only get around 2-3 feet (2 foot for males and 3 for females). my favorite is the coastal rosy boa.

    Kenyan sand boas stay small like you said. Can't think of much smaller

    Too many boas to list and a few balls as well

    I pick Rosy. They are neat little buggers.

    Male kenyans can stay in a 10 gallon tank size cage their entire life. Roughscaled sand boas are only marginally bigger.

    Rubber boas are a little less common and usually stay around 14-18"

    Heres a good site about them

    Re: smallest boa?

    thank you all for replying so fast! i think i'll definitely be getting a kenyan sand boa. does any one know any good sites to purchase them? I'm really looking to adopt, so even better if someone can direct me to a site...I've tried a few and didn't have much luck.

    THANKS SOO MUCH AGAIN!

    I don't think you'd have an easy time finding a kenyan sand boa adoption.. they aren't that common.

    I got mine from Jason Hess at Jason's Jungle http://www.jasons-jungle.com/ He's a real nice guy to do business with.
