Boa Size Comparison...

SuppleReptiles Jun 17, 2004 09:38 PM


This is not the best picture, the boa on the left is in blue (the one on the right is not mine, just used for the photo). Both are from close localites of BCC. They are the same age. And have only had a couple of meals in them. The one on the left came from a MONSTER 13' female. The other is a normal sized boa. I have four snakes from these group, there color is insane (ask da obz). But the real reason I got them is the size. I personally LOVE giant boas (not powerfeed, just naturally large). How do you guys feel about size?????

Although "pocket" boas are neat, nothing beats a monster IMHO.

compensate for something with all that size talk kemper. :P

Kemper is right, these babies are monsters. That one he posted is especially large. My female from that litter is'nt quie so huge. But deffinatley above and beyond normal size. Rat fuzzies are unnoticable in their bellies.

The red coloration is intense on these guys as well. I'm waiting for mine to shed out before posting any pics. It will be very interesting to watch these mature.

Nothing beats a HUGE boa!! A boa is not a boa unless it gets HUGE!! LOL!
And, me being a morph lover........I can't wait to see some 10-12ft Ghost, Motleys, Albinos, Stripes....Etc.
To be honest......Now that I am a Suri owner (finally) I am really getting into their patterns and colorations. They really are neat looking!!! I wouldn't mind getting a couple more.

I would love to see you AVOID getting more!

I doubt we will see to many 10-12 foot BCI morphs out there. It could happen to a few big mommas,... but the odd's are against it.

I figure most of my females will top out about 9ft at most.
That's a good size....But, I would love bigger.

And, you're probably right.....I will end up getting somemore. I would love a striped one!!

I love big boas! We have a few normal girls that are just gigantic...not powerfed to get big but just big girls and I'm always in awe at their size every time I look at them!
