A male Hog Island boa can often stay in the 5ft range and are less girthy that its close cousins. Can be truly beautiful with very light colors. Some can have attitude however, but most are calm. When you see an adult male, it does not register as a huge snake at all. Still possibly dangerous around a very young child, but you do not sound like someone who would let a 5ft boa crawl around a baby, even if monitored. Just not good for the hobby.

A rainbow boa is probably the exact size you want, as it is a tad smaller than even Hog Island boas. Unfortunately no affordable albinos in those.

The only affordable albino boid that is small is the albino "Limburg strain" rosyboa. Your $200 would likely get you one delivered to your door. Can possibly push near 40 inches as an adult and be big enough to eat small rats, so not a really tiny snake compared to many other types of rosyboa out there.
