Sorry for the overdramatic subject line. I'm thinking of getting a boa. I already have a Hog Island. The problem is, I don't really know how big different locality boas get. I read the lengths and see pics of adults in cages but that doesn't help a lot.

I need you to post pics of you holding your adult boas. Please include the locality and gender.

All localities welcome.

ANY AND ALL!!!

Hi, I don't have any pic, but most of MY female boas are 6.5 foot plus. I keep my males around 4.5 foot. A lot of people say centrals are on the smaller side, but I have a female central from Tom Burke and she is close to 7 foot. She doesn't have the girth. If you are looking for a smaller boa. Central American males seem to stay small( in my case). My male is maybe 4 foot. He is the size of a corn snake. And he is 3yrs old. I will have pics of all my snakes hopefully tomorrow. Good luck Marshall

This is me with my biggest male Nicaraguan. He's just over 5 feet and approx 4.5-5 lbs. My biggest female is the same size, just a little heavier.

I have one adult hog isle that is 4’. My colombians are quite a bit larger and thicker. I don't have any BCc but they do tend to get bigger.

Here are some of my colombians, these are adults between 5.5-7':
