    How big do the males and females get? They have also been on my radar.

    My male is just over three feet. He is smaller than many of my ball pythons and could live happily in a 32-qt tub. My female is about 4.5 feet and has plenty of room in a 41-qt tub.

    And temperament? (I understand each individual can be different).

    The male is actually really chill, curious, and easy to handle. Typical boa food response but once he knows he's not getting fed he's fine.

    The female is flightier but still easily managed. She just dropped a litter a few weeks ago so right now she's more likely to strike at anything that moves - she's HUNGRY.
