I managed to acquire a pair of hypo (possible supers) and a normal female Panama locality F1 boa recently. (Thanks Mike!) Needless to say, I love these guys. Not only are they a relatively small boa, an extremely rare locality, and beautiful - but mine are voracious feeders, fast growers, and they should easily breed in 3 years! For comparison, the hypo Panama boa is weeks old. It is a very established feeder, and has eaten almost half a dozen times since I've received it. They have gained about 30% more mass in the little time that I have had it, and it had already eaten a few times before I got it. So, these hypo was much smaller when it was first born.
The albino in the image - which is a good bit larger already - was just born yesterday. I wish I would have snapped some images when the Panama boas first arrived, but I didn't. Still, I think this shows the size disparity fairly well.
