I forgot to add that IMHO a four foot or larger boa is too big to kill with a hammer. Having a vet do the euthanasia would be the best idea. A shotgun blast to the snake's head would be a very distant second best, done only where local laws do not prohibit gunfire and at your own risk. Having seen some of the dangers from firearms, I'd spend the money for a vet.
