I have one already which is a C.A. (Hog Island) x Nicaraguan T+ Sunglow and she should get to around 6-7 foot.

The 'normal' Boa Constrictor Constrictor are the big ones who can reach 12-14ft
The Boa Constrictor Imperator are the smaller ones that will reach between 5-7 ft
with the females usually larger than the males.

Yes there are Boa's that come from a locality like the Hog Island Boa which comes from 2 islands off of the coast of Honduras.

I found someone had posted this on another site......

Boa constrictor imperator:
Columbian/Common - Female 8-9ft Males 6-7ft
Sonoran - less than 7ft
Crawl Cay - reach 5 - 5.5ft
Caulkers Cay - max out at around 5ft
Honduran - rarely exceed 5ft
El Salvador - rarely exceed 5ft
Corn Island - rarely exceed 5ft
Tarahumara Mountain - Classed as True Dwarf Boa...around 4ft
Equador - rarely reach over 6ft
Nicaraagua - less than 6.5ft
Hog Island - Adult females rarely reach over 6ft
Costa Rica - Can reach 7ft but generally reach 6ft
Bahia Island - Females can reach up to 8ft
Vera Cruz - ??
Cancun - Up to 7ft

You guys are killing me here... I don't have one of these and they land around my favorite size of snakes! I like snakes between 5 and 10 feet...Their not some wimmy little thing, and their not so big, their hard to handle... If I push for another snake my wife might kill me... I keep teasing her telling her I want an Albino Western Diamondback Rattlesnake... She thinks I'm kidding but real it's the start of a long range plan to have one.... hehe! shhhh mums the word!
Sorry if I hijacked your thread
