It is hard to say because some boas will grow faster than others when given the same amount of food. It also depends on the temperatures at which they are kept at. A VERY ROUGH estimate would be 4-5 ft for a 2004 and 5-6 ft for a 2003. This is an estimate based on the boas I have raised. I feed every 5 days for the first year, every 7 days for the second year, and every 10 days from then out. That is unless I am feeding a female that just had babies. Then I take it back down to once a week until she has put some weight back on. Ambient is 78 and hot spots are 105(unless for a gravid female).
