Kelly:
Thanks for the added input. I was wondering if the dwarf morph of the Rubber Boa was the smallest member of the boa family but that seems not to be the case.

And it might seem that the Rubber Boa seems to be larger than a number of sand boa species. Last year, a female measuring an even 33 inches (838.2 mm) was found just west of the town of Scappoose, Oregon about 25 miles northwest of Portland.

Earlier this year, I found a female in the Santa Cruz Mts. that measured 30 1/4 inches. The previous largest female from the West Bay Area I had measured was about 26 3/8 inches. The largest female from the East Bay Area of Calif. I have measured was a female of about 27 inches found in Contra Costa County.

The genetics of different color morphs in sand boas and the Rosy Boa have been discussed on this forum now and then. If I were to post the results of my crosses between the two size morphs of the Rubber Boa, would anyone be interested in trying to determine the mode of inheritance that is involved?
