Males, if fed conservatively, stay around 5ft. They should be squared off, not round-bodied. I'm sure my girl would get to be a fattus if I let her, and that's why she only gets fed a 2.5lb rabbit every 3-4 weeks.
Becky, I realize we have different thoughts about cage sizes and I too have gotten this advice from respected professionals I also included the caveat that caging size was variable and that some people keep in tubs as well as cages.
Also, I have no intention of ever over-feeding any of my snakes; obesity in any animal causes major health issues
Glad to hear your boa is doing well!
