I've been looking into adding a snake and have been thoroughly researching carpet pythons and ball pythons but I thought I'd look into all my options. I think the dwarf boas are pretty neat, like the crawl cay and cay caulker, but there aren't any in my area. I did happen to find a breeder with both Hog Island, Nicaraguan boas and Tarahumara Mountain boas, and I'd love to know a little more about them.

1) What's their general size? I've seen so many different responses I'm not quite sure anymore. I'd get a male no matter what.

2) How do their temperaments vary from one another?

3) Which do you prefer working with, and why?

I'm really not sure what to go with. I love the coloration of the Hog, but I'm a little worried about the size. Any other tips and advice would be wonderful. Thanks in advance!
