Our Colombia-tail boa constrictors are approximately 18-20 inches. Adult males normally range from 5-6 feet and females normally range from 7 to 9 feet in length. They are a favorite in the pet trade amongst reptile enthusiasts for their robust adult size.

Our Colombian boa constrictors for sale can become great pets with some time and handling. Looking for a baby boa constrictor for sale that stays a bit smaller? You may want to look at our Central American or dwarf boas as they are known. They tend to max out at a very managable 3 to 5 feet.
Choosing the right Baby Boa Constrictor
Choosing the right baby boa will help start your relationship on the right foot and ensure you get a healthy pet. Avoid wild-caught animals, as they are often less docile than captive bred snakes and may be sick. When you’re shopping, check to make sure the enclosure is clean and only one snake occupies each cage. Look for injuries, mites around the eyes or any gunk or buildup in the mouth. Listen for wheezing. These are signs that the snake may be ill. In addition, watch how the snake responds to handling; if it is fearful, visit other breeders.
The Right Enclosure
Your baby boa will need a well ventilated cage that can prevent him from escaping. Glass aquariums with secure mesh tops, or plastic storage tubs with numerous holes in the top for air, will work. Around 40 square inches is enough for a baby. A young adult over 6 months old may need 2 to 4 square feet of space, while adults need closer to 12 square feet. You should provide at least as many square feet of cage space as your snake is long. Aspen or newspaper make good substrate for the floor of the cage. Branches for climbing and a dark place to hide will be much appreciated.
Heat Source
Boa constrictors need an outside heat source to maintain body temperature. You can use an under-tank heat panel or a thermostat-controlled heat cable. Place the heat panel or cable on one side of the cage to create a gradient with a basking area that reaches 90 degrees Fahrenheit and an overall ambient temperature of around 78 degrees Fahrenheit. This range will allow your baby snake to regulate his own temperature by moving throughout the cage.
Water and Humidity
Due to their tropical origins, boas need 60 percent to 80 percent humidity to thrive. Keeping a plastic tub of clean water that your boa can climb into and soak in will help him maintain moisture and prevent mites. Small bowls of water will raise the humidity. Consider a timed misting system for hands-off maintenance, or a spray bottle to mist your snake once or twice a day.
Feeding Time
Young captive boas live primarily on fuzzy mice or hopper mice; they need to eat only once every five to seven days. Overfeeding can lead to vomiting and a decrease in overall health. If your snake is reluctant to eat, try feeding at night or offering freshly killed prey rather than frozen. Once your snake reaches 3 to 4 feet in length, you can reduce feedings to once every 10 to 14 days. As he grows, you can introduce larger prey like rats, hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs. Rats have the highest nutritional value; guinea pigs have the highest fat content.

We received our little guy 6 days ago (Tues) and he’s super cute and healthy! We didn’t pick him up for 2 days to let him get acclimated, but the whole fam checked on him daily, SEVERAL times a day just like he was a baby human. We fed him Friday like the instructions said, and he ate! We are so happy and love him dearly

We could not possibly be MORE happy and more in love with this company and our new girl. She was here in less than 24 hours. She has a great personality. We were afraid after flying from the other side of the US she would be a recluse. She is so happy and BEAUTIFUL. Our new GO TO shop. I couldn’t recommend Buyreptileonline.com
