>>Hi. I am new here and I have a few questions about dwarf boas ( I am thinking of getting a sonoran desert boa.). What locale boa is
>>a. Small ( Adult males under 5ft)
>>b. Easy to tame ( I hear sonoran desert boas arent vary tame)

I've had sonorans for a few years now and have to say-each snake is different. Both of mine were tame until I bred them. Then the male went nuts, but the female is still fairly tame. The babies are almost always hissy, but tend to calm down with regular handling.

My adult male is 5' and my female is a tiny bit over that. They're both 5 years old, maybe 6.

If you want a smaller dwarf boa, try Cay Caulker boas. They're about the same price as Sonorans, have a block-type pattern, and stay small. My adult female is 4' and 3 years old. She hasn't grown any more. Caulkers are nippy as babies, but turn into wonderfully tame adults. Males grow to 3-4' but usually tend to stay under 3'.
