They won't get as big as Columbians but 5-6 feet is still pretty sizeable. Males don't get as big as females, as is generally true with all RTBs. They will generally be more expensive than Columbians—probably more than $100, as opposed about $50 for a baby Columbian.

There is another thread, I think in this General Boas forum, that has a bunch of Hogg Island pictures in it. Found it: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...-see-your-Hogs!

Yeah, look in the other thread on here.

Males tend to stay around 5-6 ft, mine is a bit over 6 though.
Females can get a bit larger.

Males get 5-6 feet, but females easily hit 7.


I'd try a different kind, like a Sonoran or Nic boa. Here's a recent thread I made for such a purpose.

There are quite a few boas that stay under five feet. They are coined "dwarf boas". I have Nicaraguan and Sabogae "Pearl Islands" boas. Both stay under five feet as adults.

My Costa Rican and Caulker Cay will be in the 5-6 foot range...
