Heres the male I saw, I know rubber boas get bigger than this, but this is the biggest male I've seen. I've seen one bigger, a female. Also, this pic was taken with the snake laying exactlly as it was underneath a piece of metal.

Jeff:
It is difficult to make out relative size from a photo other than to contrast a specimen with surrounding objects. Did you measure the specimen and examine it for the hook shaped male spur?
The lower abdomen seems distended suggesting either the boa had a recent meal or the specimen may have been a female in reproductive condition. Some females exhibit spurs as well.
