    I have a friend who has two. Big and very beautiful. I don't know how often they get up there but both Salt and Pepper are 9 and 11 feet. I don't know how old they are but he's had them for 12 years. I don't know anything about them other than what I've picked up around them. I'll see if I can get some pictures for you.

    Very much real.

    You'll see many are BCCs, a number have the very identifiable sadles shaped like { }, while BCIs have smooth ( ) shaped saddles.

    Big BCC females can certainly break 70lbs.

    While those are rather big boas, if you take a second to analyze the size vs size of person holding them, unless all of those people are 7 ft tall then most of those boas are probably only pushing the 9-10 ft mark, which is still very big!

    Re: Monster Boas?

    Here's another question then. Are they healthy looking?

    Another group said many of them looked "fat" and were probably fed too large meals (adult rabbits for example).

    I think I'd trust this groups opinion more that the other place I went to.
