    Hypo Hoggs are just about as smokin as a snake can get in my book. They colors on a nice adult are amazing.

    I like that one, but I don't want to spend very much money. I'm trying to get a pair of boas for 150$, or else I'll just get some Honduran Milk Snakes.

    Yes, I was asking about Columbians. I'll probably have to get either Hogg Island or Milk Snakes.

    My advice would be to get the animal you like vs what will fit in a particular enclosure that you have. You generally won't find a nice pair of boas at that price. You could always pick one up and another later if you enjoy keeping the first.
    Boas are very rewarding animals to keep.

    I saw some for about 75 each, and I was planning on getting the female this year and the male next year. How much do Hogg Island boas usually cost?

    Hogg Island usually run between $100-$250 or so depending on size I believe although I haven't shopped them lately. $75 is a good price if it's a solid seller and animal. It's not out of the realm of being reasonable.

    Could Hogg Island boas live in a 4x2 cage? Even the biggest ones?

    Don't just check out Hoggs. Most central american boas stay smaller than say 7 feet. Males may only get 5 feet.

    Milk snakes are awesome!

    I don't know which ones to get lol. What other Central American boas are that big? They just have to be cheap and small enough. I might get milk snakes instead, a male tangerine albino and 2 female tangerine het albinos or another morph.
