    Re: Size

    males 6-8'
    females 7-9'

    a 4'x2'x2' will hold a boa until it gets about 7'. for a female id have no less the 6'x2'x2' and 4'x2'x2' for a male.

    biggest snake in the world, living at least, i believe is bob clarks reticulated python...22ft and like 310lbs

    Nope, it's Baby. 403 lbs 27' burm.

    Species wise, normally the green anaconda is heaviest, and the reticulated python is longest.

    Best way to heat a BCI is or any ground boa for that matter is belly heat using a UTH methode.
