    You can look up my thread "Cloud, Colombian BCI" if you want to see pictures of my boy. He's just turned 4 years old and is somewhere between 6' and 6.5' and 8.5 lbs. I personally find him very easy to manage, even at 6'+ he still feels small (to me). He only really shows his true size in his caging, feeders, and if he were to have a bad day (which the bites I've seen from boas of his size weren't too major, they did less damage than the one time my 3.5' BP bit me).

    Everyone's experience will differ though. Even though I find him easily manageable, other people could be overwhelmed by him and his space/feeding requirements. As some other users point out in the thread, he does look rather large on me, I'm only 5'1", so that will make him seem a bit more to work with in those pictures.

    Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures as I prefer to just clean and dump. When I was over-feeding him, he'd leave feces that were 3-4 handfuls big and rather stinky. Now that I've moved him onto a 4 week schedule, it's more like a 1-2 handful dump and doesn't stink at all. He's pretty good about being clean, so I just scoop the poop and surrounding bedding and that's it. Luckily he's not a poop artist. haha
