Wow, now I understand....
My one female is going to be 1 year old in May and she's still tiny compaired to my other females who where born around the same time as her.
Beautiful boas Gus! I love the first one the most. |

Even within the same species the sizes vary greatly. These 3 snakes are also around 10 months old.
This first pic is a female nicaraguan She is 14".
This next one is a male nicaraguan. He is around 20".
This one is a male "central american" (yes i REALLY hate that term) He is about 28".
Females are usually bigger than males ... but here is a good representation of that not being true all the time. And even snakes generally considered to be from the same area have big differences in size and color.

Boa Sizes
My four year old Argentine Boas are huge. My female, Nosey is eight feet long and weighs eighty pounds and my male, Grumpy is seven feet long and weighs about sixty five pounds. It takes me and another adult to handle Nosey but I can handle Grumpy by myself.
Both of my Boas have been fed on live food only and eat at least twelve degus or rats each month per snake.
SoftKiss
I have photos of my Boas and their cage in my snakes photo album.

80 lbs? Is that a guess or an accurate weight. They will feel a LOT heavier than they really are, but an 80 lb. boa is pretty "thick." I think that Louise's RTB Chance is like 8 feet or so and only like 45 lbs.

Are those your snakes in your Gallery pics softkiss? I couldnt really see very well with the window in the background, they did not look overweight from the pics.. 80# would be really way to big for the length..Like fb4076 said in his post "they will feel a LOT heavier than they really are" and Im hoping 80# is a guesstimated weight 
Do you think you can get some pics of them out? I would love to see them.. |
