Hi BD, the males can get to 6 or 7 ft but the females are bigger, upto 8 ft ish.
Boris is just over 4ft I reckon and is 3yrs old. He was kept in poor conditions and in low temperatures so i think he is happier now! He certainly seems content and is a real sweety! |

what a lovely lad - and to say he came from such a bad home such a short time ago too ...I'm not an expert on boas, mind you, but I'd say he's a credit to you. |

Thanks Sandi : ) I do like Boas, as well as Pythons, I like their heads and the way their eyes move to watch you!
Are they an easy snake to care for? |

| Similar to royals but without the food issues! Much stronger though so quite different to handle. |

How strong a snake is, or indeed how big one gets, has never really bothered me. Although obviously you have to be consantly aware of those things. I've walked up to and stroked a fully grown Boa Constrictor without any fear at all. He just sat there like a long lump! He was used to different people stroking him though, so he was used to it : ) I loved him!
I do like Boas... I can feel a slight urge coming on X ) |

Hi sticks,
It will be tough, was for me but its worth it!
Boris is so chilled out with me now and im sure it helped that i put my hand in his viv every day but never touched him for a week. now he knows my smell and he is a sweety!
Have fun with her, but be patient! |

Boris is lovely! You can't go wrong with a boa, they rock! I've had mine for just over two years and she's an angel.  |

Haha I have this little fight on a smaller scale with Sanke, everytime I open him up to change his water he is straight up my arm or attempting to climb the uplighter behind the snakes vivs, then its how do I keep him in long enough to get my hand out and the lid back on. Sanke is a Hog so won't be as big but I know what you mean by strong on a whole other level, Duke is a bruiser and strong but Sanke is tiny and almost as strong already. They fascinate me.
I may consider getting a bigger version at a later date, not ready for it just yet. |
