This is probably a rookie question that most already know. But I am looking for a smaller size BCI such as a Hog Island, and not one of the larger BCI's such as the Columbian. I also like the morph breeds. But on most of the classified ads they only give the morphs as a description. How would I know what type of Boa it actually is, or if they don't list the type of boa, should I just assume that it is a Columbian and will get about 8 feet?
For Example some listed on the classifieds say; "Female Snow Boa"..."Male Albino Boa"... "05 Super Ghost Boa"... "Sharp SunGlow Boa". How would I know from this what type of Boa it is, and what size I should expect it to be if I can't really tell by a picture of a two month old snake? (did I explain this OK?)
