My shipping costs range from 21.00(in florida) all the way to 85.00-95.00
A 7 foot boa in a apropriate sized box weighs alot and the dimensions are greater as well, thus alot more expensive as moist companies charge mostly by dimensional weight over actual weight.
UPS if it has dimensions of 12x12x12 or less than it is usually about 30.00-35.00
Anything that is over that is mostly charged dimensionally.
I ship a baby boa in a 11x8x9 box or a 12x9x6 box and it is 30-35.00
A regular fish box via any carrier , and 10lbs or less I get charged on average 60-75.00, even if the box is only 1 lb

I also get a 30% discount for voume via fed ex, thus it helps and I pass the savings tot he customer, but UPS and the lie it averages out to about 60-70.00 for 16x16x8 or 17x17x10 which is the regular size fish box that you seee used quite often.
