Dunno... maybe... 'Carlos, the Terror of El Salvador'?
Snakes are never really mean. I think what you're really looking for is 'The most nervous and defensive boa' or 'The boa most likely to mistake your arm for a food source'.

I have two amazon basin surinames that are very aggressive and big, they bit first ask questions later. I very rarely handle them because it stresses them out too much. They are by far the most aggressive boas I have ever owned but I still love them.

I have a couple sand boas like that, but it's a bit of a different issue when the snake is 10 inches long

Some people are saying that boas these days being heterozygous or homozygous for several traits seem to have an added agression factor, lol..
I've heard of some 'hets' like this, and more for double hets.
I have some 'triple hets', and they, THE WHOLE GROUP, are by far the meanest acting boas i've ever seen... but it's mostly bluffing hot air!!! I handle them with the same ease I do my 'tamest' boas..
