Hogg Island Boa young female

Could someone tell me how big these guys get I heard they aren't as long and the red tails also are they known to be a little nippy when they are young.
Thanks
Bev

some may reach 6 feet...much more than that and it is a possible cross. Nippiness is individual...though, smaller island boas do tend to be more so than say Columbians...but that is not a rule of thumb, as I have known some "evil" Columbains. The smaller Island boas are my favorites...

I have seen multiple Sears line female Hogs reach 7ft. I have seen f1's over 6 ft that belonged to Mark Wendling here in Iowa. These were purchased direclty from Sears.
