As stated in the other post, best idea is to read up as much as you can. But to briefly give you a response to your questions:
In most cases with boas large boa and six feet dont go together. The exception would be the smaller species such as the cay caulkers and hog island species. most other boa constrictors will fall into the larger catigory and exceed the around six feet mark. Additionally personnaly I do not feel that boa constrictors are one of the species of snakes that it is difficult to keep up humidity so that should not really be much of a problem. Lastly in my experience with different snake species boas tend not to be so agressive but there are however exceptions so id advise getting a younger snake at first. hope some of this has helped, but again reading as much as you can is your best ides BEFORE getting the snake.
