    Re: So I made the leap into boas

    Oh and pics will come as soon as I get him

    Congratulations!! We'll expect pics when you get him!



    ** Also, it is extremely rare for a Colombian boa to exceed 8 feet, let alone reach something like 12. Even the true red tails (BCC) don't get that big. Who told you a boa would get to 12 feet?? Colombians and other BCI, with the exception of some specific localities which are even smaller, usually reach lengths of 6-8 feet with males being on the smaller end of that spectrum. BCC, the "True Red Tailed Boas," such as Surinam and Guyana among others, will reach 7-10 feet with only truly exceptional females approaching the 10ft mark.
    Just different people I talk to thats nice to know that they dont get that big. Im in love with this motley red tail that a local shop has. I a complete newb when it comes to boas so I was just going by what I was hearing. I know Brazilians get a bit bigger the bp but I got a columbian rainbow and from what ive read they dont get much bigger then a bp. Tuesday needs to hurry up and get here
