Description
The Hypo Colombian Boa Baby is a selectively bred, captive-bred boa constrictor for the intermediate to advanced keeper. It offers a manageable size and the striking, clean coloration of the hypomelanistic morph. We’ve stocked this specific bloodline since Q4 2025, and it’s a consistent favorite that brings repeat customers back to our shop.
Stand-Out Features
- Proven Hypo Colombian Bloodline: Sourced from established breeders for predictable coloration and temperament.
- Captive-Bred & Feeding: Born in captivity and reliably taking frozen/thawed rodents appropriate to its size.
- Ideal Intermediate Snake: More substantial than a corn snake but more manageable than a full-sized common boa.
- Clean, Reduced-Pattern Look: The hypomelanistic gene reduces black pigment, resulting in brighter oranges, reds, and tans.
- Established Starter Size: A healthy, feeding juvenile ready for a proper enclosure setup.

Your Questions Answered
What is the expected adult size?
A well-established Hypo Colombian Boa typically reaches 5 to 7 feet in length, with females generally larger. They are a substantial but manageable constrictor when provided with appropriate husbandry.
What setup do you recommend?
Start with a 20-30 gallon enclosure for a juvenile, upgrading to a minimum 4’x2’x2′ enclosure for an adult. Provide a thermal gradient with a warm side around 88-90°F and a cool side around 78-80°F, along with secure hides and proper humidity (60-70%).
