Years and years ago, Big Female Boas would come in somewhat regularly. Now, it is very rare to land one over 7-8ft. That, however is a good thing. It is sad to see these huge females brought in from the wild. Who, knows? These Big females could be responsible for most of the population of Boas in their specific Geographic location. The females that I have, I required out of luck and just knowing people. They were already in the U.S. and would have been, wether I wanted them or not. These Boas do live very hardy lives, once they are acclimated. The key, is to just leave them alone and realize that; " THEY WILL NEVER BE PETS. " Not everyone, needs a Boa like these, for the reasons of unpredictability. They have absolutely NO PROBLEM ripping your head off, if given a chance.If you want a captive raised Boa, to live as strong and hardy as these, just do not overfeed it. If you raise your Boas very slow and give them good husbandry, you can have a snake that will live almost as long as you and not have to have one of these " Old Ancients. " .........Johnson Herp
