    If I'm not mistaken, Jeff makes cage extensions and if she grew larger than expected you could pop on the extension.

    Boas are fairly consistent in temperament, generally and things can change with age no matter how they start out. A mellow snake at the start can get a bit sketchy later. BCI boas seem to be less touchy than the BCC types, but again everything varies from one individual to the next.

    My retic being a wonderful example of starting out placid and turning into a jackass at 3+ years old.

    That male looks awesome though.

    Go with your instinct!
    I totally agree with this statement by Gio. I wouldn't even worry about present temperament, since a mellow snake could later turn aggressive and I've heard young boa's can start nippy and turn into sweet hearts. So I would go by size and pick the male if you want a smaller one. OR go by which ever is your visual favorite, regardless of the sex of it as long as you don't care that the female will get larger than the male.

    If you prefer a smaller version and the male has the best visual that will make your choice pretty clear and easy.
