I have had MULTIPLE CA Boas, and my females have never got over
5'. Look down one thread and my Poss Super Hypo 66% het T-II
is 3' MAX, also the Type II

I doubt its a male!
God Bless

That sounds about right...

I have a CA Hypo het T she is about 5ft or so although she is a little thicker, not as large as the columbians of the same age however.

My Leoaprd female is also 3 yrs old but is a little smaller than the CA Hypo girl...they both eat like horses just dont get as large as their Columbian counterparts.

Here is a 6 year old female CA Boa. She eats small rats every
10 days and she is 26 1/2 inches! She is in a 18 gallon tub I
think. She is as thick as the handle of a Golf club. Some just
stay small. Can you take pics of the tail (side view and also
if possible the belly side of the tail as well

This Poss Super Hypo is an 06' and a touch smaller than the
female above. This is a male

A 2 year old fiesty female- pushing 3' and PSYCHO!

This one is 4' at 4 years or so old- nice pattern

This is what I call 'Twin Tails'. About a year ago and put them
in a 10 gal glass aquarium to clean. They can almost live their
lives in a 10... SMALL!

And a bigger CA. Female het Type II. 5' or so. 04'

You see they stay pretty small, but there is some anomolies that
happen with every species. I have heard or 7'-8' Nics, but rare

...is an 03-04 Nic, she's just over 5 feet and about 5 lbs.

My smallest Nic is an '05 that is only about 38 inches and 800 grams.
