I too have been looking at boas. I have zero experience with them so a lot of the questions I had were answered here already. 
How fast do the hatchlings grow?
Like, when do babies reach adult size? I know each snake grows at their own rate, but a general ball park figure would be? (w/i a year? two years? more?)

Yeah, I would like to find a care sheet, that shows temps and humidity, as well as feeding guidlines for them as well. All though I would imagine once a week for little guys?

Actually a buddy of mine, he's not a breeder or anything. It was first first litter and he knew I wanted one.

I keep a couple dwarf Bci - Sonoran Desert Boas... The female is girthy (she is gravid though) and around 4.5 ft, while the male is much skinnier (still very healthy) and about 1/2-1 ft shorter in length.
They are both over 3 years old (adults), eat f/t medium to large Rats biweekly, and live very happily in a 40 gallon breeder tank. They have a big water bowl they like to soak in every so often and a hide - that's it. They are both very comfortable and can stretch out just fine... they look small in the 40 gallon.
As mentioned, all dwarf locales of boa stay pretty small and have that typical Bcc look to them. You could also go with Epicrates or Candoia, for something different that is still a boa and stays small - or Coralus hortulanus.
