poll- opinion on strengh

My vote wasn't on the poll, but I work at a herp shop, and no other boa wrecks shop on rats like ARGENTINE BOAs do. They get freakin huge too....

I would have to say the Boa constrictor. They use alot of their muscle when holding onto you.

the argentine boa constrictor is a subspecies of Boa Constrictor right? if so you can vote under that

I've held a BCC/BCI and my ball doesn't even come close to that strength...it was very impressive =)

Argentine boas are BCO (boa constrictor occidentalis)

thanks. i guess anyone can vote for BCO in the BCI/BCC choice (same genus)

curious... why is this thread in the ball python section? shouldn't it be in general herp?

anyways, i guessed it would be a burmese... but i know nothing LOL :P

I didn't see that. Moved to general herp forum.

I have held lots of burms. They are kind of like limp noodles most of the time. They may be very strong, but heck they don't use it much.. not like boas do.

I've handled most of them, and I must say that Boa's defenitely tend to grasp on to you tighter than most. But this is all useless opinion without any research :evileye:

I have no hands on experience with bloods but if I were to guess I think they would be the strongest at 5foot..a boa may use its strength more at 5feet but I think if there was a test with all these snakes squizing as hard as they can a 5foot blood would beat the other 5footers
