Well here is the deal. Hypos, Albinos, Anerys, Sunglows, ect. All are color morphs of Columbian boas, so they will attain the same size as "normal" columbians. If you are looking for dwarf boas then you should look into Hogg Island Boas, Caulkers Cay Boas, ect... that are beautiful locality specific boas which stay in the 5-7 foot range and smaller. If you are looking for a larger boa then True Red tails like Surinames, Argintines,Guyana localities are on the larger size of ten foot for females and most males also. Hope this helps you out...!

Sincerely,
Rose Hipskind

There are hypos from just about everywhere from Colombia up to Mexico. If the breeder/dealer isn't willing to answer your questions don't buy a boa from them. There are many others that will answer your questions, so why not give them credit for their time and buy from them. Good luck
