Re: dwarf boas

Welcome! It's a jungle in here!

His long is the boa? There is one locality that could be considered a "dwarf" species and that would be Hogg island boas. I am pretty sure they stay under 7ft for the most part. As far as telling the difference I haven't a clue. Regardless you will enjoy it immensely!

Welcome to the forum. It would help if you posted pics of your boa

Yup pics would help for sure. Be sure to get a close up of the head as well as a belly shot.

Re: dwarf boas

Hi and welcome.
At five or six feet he could be a small common bci.
There are several types of dwarf boas.Picture would be the only true way of telling.
