    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Is there a Boa Constrictor under 6 ft?

I have owned many snakes in the past (Columbian RT, Ball Python, Kingsnake, etc.) but none are, in my opinion, as nice in looks or temperament as the common boa constrictor. I want to buy a new one but the one problem I have is the size they attain at maturity. Is there a strain of Boa Constrictor that stays around 6ft? I know the Ball Python would seem perfect, but I do not think they are as nice as the Boa. I do not want to have to deal with "trading down" for a smaller one once the snake gets too big.

thanks for the help

You could also do Central American Boas which stay relatively shorter and you might want to have a look at Solomon Island boas and those types....Candoia ssp. They have a cute Boa face and stay small. Just make sure you buy from someone reputable that will guarantee they are feeding on mice/rats.

Make sure to post pictures after you've picked and purchased!
 
I have a female caulker cay as well and she is great! Mine has a great temperament and i hear this is the case in general. Mine hissed a lot at first, but its just a show and they soon get over it. Traci, how old is your girl? Have any pics?
