The smallest species would be Eryx jayakari and maybe Eryx elegans. From what records I have seen neither species exceeds 40cm. Of course, I assume that means female maxima because I suspect they would be the larger gender as they are in most Erycines (they are in jayakari).

There aren't many/any? elegans in captivity, but there are quite a few jayakari in captivity, so maybe someone has a large female?

I'm not sure how big Eryx somalicus gets since there have only been a few specimens found and some of those have been noted to be juveniles.

I don't remember what the newest taxon of Eryx that was described recently was called (Eryx sorri or something like that), but it just looked like like Eryx somalicus from what I saw.
