Different boa species?

Question

I really really really really REALLY want a columbian red-tail boa, but I don't have room for a snake over 6ft.

So... .I'm wondering, what are some other species of boas? I'm already doing research about BRBs, but what about a Dumeril's Boa? Please give me a list of boa species and I will Google all of them and do the research. I just need the names.

Answer 2

If you want something with size and hopefully wouldnt pass the 6 foot mark in length, look at the male of the species. The average male red tail wouldnt get much more than 6 feet. The female however could potentially be a different story. Also make sure its a columbian, not a suriname or guyanan. The males in those species would certianly pass the 6 foot mark.



A male Dumeril's is a fairly compact snake with great attitude. Wouldnt most likely even hit 5 feet.



My last suggestion would be a Hog (Hogg) Island Boa. Both male and female will stay below 6 foot easily.



There could be a compromise, however. Red Tails and Hogg Island boas are being crossbred. (I dont agree with this, but hey Im not the one doing it) So the snake would have alittle more size, but still most likely stay below 6 feet.

Answer 3

Well most boas are going to be anywhere from around 4 feet to 8 feet once they are full grown I have a Red Tail boa right now and he is only 3 feet right now and not that big around. But there are many types of boas you can choose from. Also if you are just looking for a constrictor type of snake then you can also check out pythons which has some that will not grown but 4 feet maybe even 3 feet.

Answer 5

What about a Hogg Island Boa?

They look almost identical to red-tails, except for a little coloring, but they reach only 4-6 feet.

Answer 6

Two good medium tropical boas that are more common in the pet trade are the Hog Island and the Dumeril's.

Answer 7

Rosy boa, sand boa, and emerald boa are the three I can think of off the top of my head.

Answer 8
