I'd point out the following:
1) many boa constrictor subspecies don't get much more than 5'.
2) These species can't survive outside of Florida (I have been citing: Pyron RA, Burbrink FT, Guiher TJ (2008) Claims of Potential Expansion throughout the U.S. by Invasive Python Species Are Contradicted by Ecological

I sent mine. I think I'll send e-mails to them EVERY DAY.
