That depends on ssp some will be longer and thicker then others.

yeah, BCiI's are usually smaller than BCC's

It depends on many things, really. How often fed, what prey item, how many items in one feeding, size at birth.... not all boas are born the same size. Some are 12" and some are 24". There is no way to say what size a year old boa 'should' be. :)
