Suriname red tail

I have the chance to get a Suriname boa he was born in '01 and is now about 5' long. He seemed pretty friendly and is probley the best looking snake I have seen.

What I want to know is avg size full grown on them

Temper he seemed nice enough just wondering about them as a whole

Size and temperment are my biggest concerns the rest falls into place.

Check out the boa care sheet

huge...10ft or longer

Ohh yeah duh surinames are BCC's right ? yeah somebody i know has one and its about 14 feet long(maybe) (female) theres a picture in my album if you wanna check it out.

I'd like to see that pic...esp. considering that the largest known true redtail in captivity (in recent years, anyway) was a 14' female at the San Diego zoo.

K

Hmmm actually i dunno if it really 14feet maybe smaller

In the pic you cant really tell but im going over to her house either tomorrow or saturday, ill be sure and ask her exactly how big she really is,maybe i exagerated a little on the size.

Heres the picture

The last time i helped with a show i got to hold it (with the help of another guy) and man was she heavy !

That is a huge boa brandon, larger than any I have ever seen.

When I read care sheets it says males avg 6-8 ft is this true or can i expect a much larger boa ? I know for sure its a male

Oh I read on several boa sites and care sheets that the Columbian BCC on avg is larger than the others does this hold any water ?

male BCI 5-6 FT
Female BCI 7-9FT
Male BCC 6-8 FT
Female BCC 8-10 FT

these are the sizes i read when looking at various care sheets

Those are the basic generalizations you will hear about boa's, however it is important that you keep in mind those are just generalizations. If you are not prepared to have a large snake, i would shy away from a boa. You might get one that is a monster.

DANG THATS ONE GARGANTUAN (sp) BOA!!!!!!!!!! yea, Except i think its more like
BCI male: 5-7ft.
BCCmale:6-9ft.
