Another for boa. I adore my sunglow. He is such a great snake. 7-9 feet for a male BCI is huge IMO. I think 5-6 feet is much more common and easy for one person to handle. I have handled several male BCIs and they have all been dreams and very manageable.
That wouldn't make sense. My boa is only 10 months old and he is already 5ft and he is still growing.
