It would all depend on the breeder. I am sure more of the smaller breeders will spend time working with there boas regularly. Additionally there may be larger breeders who have staff who work with the breeder boas also. It all depends on what you are up for. I have a male that I got when he was about 5ft. He had been handeled for about roughly the first year of his life and then left alone in bad conditions until I got him. Now it is about four years and he is just shy of the 8ft mark. He has not bit me and is not overly difficult to deal with although you can obviously tell he is not too fond of being handled. I pretty much just take him out to stretch a few times a week. I would suggest either seeing and holding the snake first or get a baby if you are not looking to put in the work it may take to be able to deal with an agressive large snake.
