Fact is, a real Colombian Boa can reach decent proportions. Even a male can get 7-8 ft and probably 30# plus. This is a fact that I've witnessed a few times in my life. Take it or leave it.
to the OP.....You can always go with Trpidphiidae, the TRUE dwarf Boas, if size is that big of a concern. I guarantee they will stay small, but may be a challenge to keep successfully.

When I bought my female Salmon Boa I was told she is a BCI, and that she would get the size of a Hog Island Boa. Do you think I was told the truth? |
