no, that snake body doesn't look normal. It doesn't make sense that a boa would be as big as the trunk of a tree, either...

the pic looks fine, i don't think theres anything wrong, theres no scale size, that boa could be 6 feet, 12 feet, what ever....
I love my boa and they're alot more docile than pythons. I've had BP's and i like boa's MUCH better.

My mother was owned by a Boa that she received in 1976 and died last year 2002. Babe was poached in Panama and came to my mom in a round about fashion as a rescue, her first snake. At death,we estimate Babe to be 14ft and about 85 lbs. I have a picture of her but I am trying to figure out how to post it.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but keep in mind that BCC gets larger than BCI, guys. I've never owned a true redtail myself, but my understanding is that 15' probably wouldn't be that out of the ordinary for a female of one of the larger races.
15' for a BCI, however, sounds a bit much. Just my two yen.

Sorry Ken, I'm with Linds on this one. People always estimate way high. When I recieved this girl she was said to be 14' She is 12yrs old and is actually 9'6".
Few boas I have encountered have exceeded 10'. And I don't know of any male making even 8'. The only B.c.i. that can muster that size is a Colombian as nearly all other localities are smaller. The majority of adult females I am aware of are in the 8' spectrum.

Oh, I'm by no means disagreeing with 8' being far more common for females, I'm just saying that the 10-12 foot specimens are not as rare as many people say they are. And I was talking Columbiam boas here.

I'd definatellely go for a Boa. i have a yearly Columbian (Thanks INVICTUS for the ID) He's a little under 4ft at a year old. Beautiful temperament, seems to love/tollerate lots of handling.
GOD!!! I LOVE MY BOA
