about 8-9 years ago during the initial heydays of the albino rosy marketing forays i had a conversation with scott selstadt regarding alledged 4' rosy boas. He offered me or anyone else $10,000 for a rosy boa that exceeded 48" as he was certain one could not exist. No less then a week later i got very excited when i was offered a local wild caught female that was "at least 48"long". When i saw her she looked to be the monster of all rosys, huge in length and girth, covered with scars, and a nubbed tail. I did take her in trade for some bearded dragons but as predicted she came up a tad short in length measuring 43". even if her tail had been intact she would not have reached the magic 4' mark. She appeared to be extremely old. She never produced for me and died two years later.
I am pretty certain a 4 footer has never been documented.
