Well that all depends on the type of boa really

Rosy boa's don't get big at all...but most people when they see one dont think "Boa".

If your looking for the traditional boa, then I would go with something like a Hogg Island or some other Island related boa's. Most of those dont get as big as say a Columbia or True Redtail.

Thats my 2 cents...I am sure others here will throw in there suggestions.

BTW do you have a cage already? If not that is a very important thing to consider also.

Hogg Island Boas don't get quite as large as some of the others but even at 6-7 feet and quite girthy they can be pretty impressive. What size is small enough? Is it cage space you are dealing with or physical strength handling? thought about sand boas or something?
