They should look like a hogg island but will be 100%het for albino if one was Hogg and the other albino, does it state what type of albino (Kahl,sharp or t+)

Hog Isle is a dwarf locality. They do not have morphs themselves although some appear to be hypo. Albino genetics are found in multiple different boa localities the most common being the Kahl or original strain and the Sharp strain, both of which originate from Colombian locality, boas known as Colombian boas or Common boas.

You may want to ask the seller/breeder to clarify what was the pairing that is producing the baby you are looking at getting. I assume it's a hog isle x albino colombian?
Hog isle crosses tend to hit the middle of the size range although boas in general can vary quite a bit. Expect a 6' or so boa when full grown IMO. I'm not sure if there was most specific information you are looking for?

good luck with your new little one! boas are great!

edit to add - most people will use the spelling 'Hogg' with 2 'g's to signify the animal is a locality cross. just fyi

I may be misunderstanding something here, but...

Was the snake born this pastFriday? As in just a few days ago?
Are you picking the snake up soon?

Totally agree. Ask for pics and info on the parents

If he just had the litter he has the parents. Always best to know what you are getting and if the seller/breeder is reputable they should a) know and b) have no issue sharing that with you prior to purchase.

He said they were born Friday but they haven't shed or ate yet so it'll be a bit before I get the baby

That's why I'm so iffy. He said he didn't mean to breed them that the babies was a surprise but unless he's keeping the parents in the same enclosure it wasn't a mistake. I've had boas an ball pythons something is just off with me on this I guess plus he's closer to me an i wouldn't need shipping

Ok, thanks for clarifying for me. I was a little confused and would have thought it would be pretty unconventional if you were picking the snake up soon.
