They are generally much smaller and if you feed conservatively males will probably stay under 5ft. By conservatively I mean feed appropriately sized meals once a week until they are about 2-3 years old and them feed them once every 2 weeks.
Hogs are a great little dwarf boa. My female isn't a dumpster like my male and she will only eat live, but they are positively tiny compared to my hypo jungle boas. I wouldn't let one case were someone owns a very large male to scare you away from them.![]()
