What did I get myself into?

Boas overall are such big puppy dogs I really dont think you have anything to worry about , especially from a bci. Sure, she'll get big but not anything too crazy by any means. I had a bcc female years ago that was around 9ft and 85lbs (and NOT overfed) and I still thought she was easily manageable by myself. Granted....Im a big guy (6'1" and about 220lbs) but every bci Ive ever dealt with has been puppy dog tame unless they know food is in the room. They are as easy as it gets concerning big constrictors because they're slow and not in a hurry to get anywhere....unlike a retic.

Plus...boas grow very slowly compared to other species, you will have plenty of time to figure out her behavior. I wouldnt consider a 25lb adult female bci to be obese though by any means...

You'll be just fine

I also wanted to add that I am in no hurry to get a retic! Dwarf or other! BCI works fine for me. Besides, Behira falls asleep on my chest half the time. She's pretty cool. Curious, but not crazy.

Thank you for being kind about correcting me on BCI size potential. Some people might think I was being insulting, like if your BCI is over 25 pounds, you are irresponsible, etc. Thank you for seeing that is not what I meant.
