Lol yeah I just almost got tagged by both Rango and Gina. It's the little boas that are dangerous lol. I was hanging Gina's little hopper mouse and she came flying out mouth open and just swinging all over haha. Then she closed the mouth and looked at me so I moved the hopper to her mouth and she grabbed it. Now she is sitting in her cool hide with just her head at the door.
Rango was buried in the front of his cage with just his head sitting on the litter dam. So I hung his mouse above his head and he shot up like a rocket and sprayed aspen all over and grabbed his mouse. It was like a great white shark jumping out of the water grabbing a seal but the snake version haha. These little snakes act like they are starving to death. They get a meal every week although I do feed on the smaller side. Now Rango is sitting with his head back on the litter dam covered in aspen again haha.

Rosey is between 6.5-7' and i just reach in, drag her out and sling on my shoulder and she's fine with it lol. Caesar, i just drag his butt out too and try and throw him over a shoulder and that usually ends with him climbing down my leg or stretching out trying to grab something or the ceiling. Really laid for temperament but just a spazz for cruising around. And Vicky at 5' or so is laid back too but not so much into hanging out on me as Rosey is. Vicky is more find her own stuff to do lol. Gina though like i said is like Rosey. She seems to like to sit on me and then stretch out and check stuff out but not actually climb onto it haha.
I hear ya there!
A big, beautiful Poki, Suri is probably the ultimate snake IMO. I think you and I are pretty on par with why we like boas. I could be completely content with a collection of boas and boas only. I could probably be the same with carpets. I think my coasty is the most entertaining of all the snakes here so far. However if Wallace falls into the gap I want him to fall into, he will really be special.
But back to Gina, which is a beautiful Italian name IMO. She really is a special animal and I hope she hits the 7-8 foot mark for you.
I'll see what my friend's Poki female is at and let you know.
Here is some interesting info about the Pokigron Suris.

Bottom line,,,,, I'm a Gina fan!

The breeder was feeding her medium mice but told me to start out smaller for a few feedings which i was going to do anyways. She's had 3 feedings of hopper mice and this last one, she folded it in half and ate it like a sandwich lol. So this next feeding I'm going to look at a small adult and compare it to a hopper. She LOVES to eat lol. This last round, she shot out like a bullet with mouth open and swinging wildly haha. Good thing i was using tongs. She isn't shy about going for food.
Awesome,
I told you my friend who used to chat somewhat regularly with Gus, said to keep them on mice for their first year didn't I?
Sounds like you are anyhow, just wanted to make sure. She will grow slower than your BCI boas, but I think when she hits the 6 foot mark will be remarkably beautiful. She isn't even colored up yet age wise and she's still smoking hot to look at.
