"Dwarf" boas are actually called Insular boas, right on the money qiksilver, but are also mostly known as BCI's so it's very confusing. Insulars tend to be a little bit fiestier than "normal" BCI's, but most will calm down with some work. Whenever I get an email that is in relation to this very thread, I steer them towards a nice normal male colombian bci. They are hard to beat for a great pet. They stay relatively small, like 4.5-5 feet, and have a good disposition most of the time.

Corn Islands are a hand full, for the most part, but will calm down in due time. The problem is they generally go for around a grand a pair and you will have a hard time getting someone reliable to sell a single male/female. You also will need to get on a waiting list.

Hogs are great pets, but just make sure your mind is made up whether or not you want a PURE Hog or not. There's a lot of Colombian/Hog crosses out there lately...some don't mind and some do. For the most part they are great snakes, a bit touchier than most colombians.

Central Americans and Nics are also good pets. They stay within 4-5 feet and are really neat looking. I personally have seen more mean ones than nice ones, but with some tender loving care, they will relax for anyone.

Hope this all helped!
How much would a Dwarf Colombian go for right now? How big would the females get?

A grand? Eep. I defiantly couldn't afford that! Do you know why its hard to get one by itself?

Again, how much would a pure Hog or a cross cost? Either would be okay with me.

Thanks for posting here!
