Good topic on the body and head shapes, Gio.
My two Boas are remarkably different that regard.

The Suriname boy, Leonard Eugene, is taller than he is wide and the extremely rectangular in cross section. His head is very flat, spear shaped, and fairly elongated. Being a male he’s also fairly lean in build and will not be pressed for monster size here.

The Argentine Boa, Mirabelle Rose, is very very round in cross section and has a much beefier head shape and musculature. If you look closely in pictures you can see that her right side of her top lip also is a bit higher than the left. Always been like that.

Being female she is noticeably heavier built than the suri as well. She also will not be pressed for gigantic size, but does have that potential in her genetics. In Bob Guerriere’s words, “her mother’s mother is a monster”. Like 9-10’ and 40-50lb range. Should she attain such a size, the two cages I shared pictures of in the first post can have the center removed and become one enormous 8x2.5x2’ enclosure. That’s years and years down the road if ever.
