A male Hog Island boa are great to work with. Other than that I usually recommend a common Colombian boa male. Raised from a baby and handled properly they can be very rewarding and gentle snakes. Might exceed your 5 foot limit but a male won't get too big. For the most part the concept of boas and small don't always go together. Bill

I produce 10 litters a year of several different morphs and locales of Central American Boas, and they are by far my favorite. They stay smaller, eat less, and are extremely hearty!
