Depending what type of Boa Constrictor it is...
Central Americans would probably be about 2' , 2.5'
Colombians would probably be about 2.5' - 3.5' or so...
True redtails would probably reach 2.5 - 3' or so...
of course they can be forced to be much larger, but this is highly frowned upon - if, of course, you want a healthy animal to grow and possibly breed to produce healthy babies one day.
Some may not grow as fast as others, and as long as all else is well, this is perfectly fine.
