I have almost 20 boa's and not one of my boa's is even close to 10 foot long. My female boa's are around 6 foot long.
Here are a couple of my largest boa's from last summer:
This is a suriname, which is a BCC (Born 2005)
Same day with me holding her for size reference. I am 5'3
This is my albino: She is a BCI and about 3 pounds less than my BCC above (Born 2006)
Snake Room Picture:
Now, I will say, looking back, if I could have redone all those cages, I would have done 18" high instead of 11.5". My older snakes use to be in display cages that were huge and when I got too many snakes, I had to get more economical with my space. So, I went with boaphiles - 4x2x 11.5". I guess it is because I was use to the larger size myself but I wish I had some higher height.
I actually moved my females into higher height enclosures for breeding:
Extremely dark Surinames from the breeding season but as you can see, 2 snakes fit into a 4x2x18" cage just fine.
Now, my largest male boa is a little bit smaller than the size of Ember. I feed him medium rats every 2-3 weeks. (Born 2005) My husband holding him:
Oh, he is just a very pretty normal BCI. Nothing special but I still love him dearly.
