I would not be comfortable doing the garage thing at all. Besides the cooler temps and problems there, summer day temps would concern me too. Garages can get over heated as it is in the summer months.

As far as smaller species...how about the Taramahara? (hope I didn't spell it wrong, I've only had a couple of hours of sleep)They are about 3-4 feet or so, I believe. It is the smallest type normal looking boa that I know of.
The males of many island/darf BCI can be kept at around 5 feet, but I think the one above would probably suit best.

Gus, at Rio Bravo produces these. I'm sure some others probably do too.

Good luck
