Hi,
We have had a pet boa for about 6 years (well, as a married couple 6 years, my husband bought it 19 years ago)so I am now really new to owning a boa, but I am new to trying to understand all of the types out there. I have a small collection of snakes- balls, corns, jungle carpets, a GTP, the older boa and just recently got myself a Cay Caulker and a Nic. Love them! I've read info on several breeder's sites, also the Boa Constrictor Manual and a few others
I suppose I should get to the question. I LOVE the albino/hypo types of boa. I really like the coral, sunglow,lipstick etc.....but I also am partial to the "dwarf" boa because I am a shorter gal. That's why I really like the ball pythons and corns-easy for my to handle and enjoy. Do any of the "dwarf" boas come in those awesome reds, pinks and oranges? I am not partial to genders because I don't plan to breed, and know that males are typically smaller than females. So, are all of the albino/hypo types that are advertised (lipstick, coral, sunglow...) the typical BCI that can get really large, or are there any that are "likely" to stay under 5' (I know any snake can get larger than it's average reported size)?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated and welcome. Thanks in advance from a first timer on this forum!!!
