    Wow.
    This is probably the largest healthy looking one I've seen in a video or ever.

    No pin head and a really nice loaf shape which are two factors that point away from over feeding.

    The head is huge and the boa is taller than it is wide.

    What a beautiful specimen!

    Daaang, that's a nice looking boa! I can't imagine how strong the BC Cling must be for a boa that large, especially one with good muscle tone.

    Did anyone catch how old that boa was? Even a BC that large has got to be on the older side.

    French is rusty. I think it's 10-12 years old and 20kg.

    I hope it an older boa. A young one should not be nearly that size.

    It moves well and doesn't look like a saggy noodle.

    Even with the retic out of the house and a free large cage waiting for something, I couldn't house that snake here.

    That's a beautiful "hand-full" for sure! Sitting still is not his strong suit, lol.

    That is a large one and nice to see one that isn't round for sure! Did anyone catch the gender? My male is 7-8 years old now and nearly nine pounds, a nice size. That snake looks a bit much to handle alone.

    I thought so too -too much to handle alone: his handler was pretty muscular, but it's always best not to under-estimate large constrictors, or over-estimate your own strength.

    Probably a good 2 person snake. But I’d take that all day solo, over the 8 foot retic I just re-homed.
    I like my snakes lean and this one is a bit large for my taste but WOW what a specimen.

    I hope it lives a long time.
