I guess that it depends who you ask. I consider the nicaraguans and Hog Islands (actually almost all central american) smaller boas. To me a dwarf boa is from the Tropidophiidae genera. These boas are true dwarfs.

I think that recently people have coined the term "dwarf boa" to mean any boa that grows to 8 feet or smaller in an attempt to differenciate them from the large b.c.c. and therefore make them more appealing to people who are intimidated by boas thinking that they all grow to 12 feet.

Just my 2 cents...
