Boa & Python Sizes?
I was researching some stuff the other day and I'm curious, just how many boas/pythons stay short (as in around six feet) I was surprised to fid that the royal/ball python wasn't the only short one.
what about temperaments and is there anything else you'd like to tell me? Or maybe enclosure needs. I'm just curious. Thanks^.=.^ pictures are welcome.
I posted this here because there is no boa and python forum combined. Thanks.

Re: Boa & Python Sizes?
Savu pythons, children's/spotted pythons, woma pythons, brazilian rainbow boas(womas and BRBs have been reported to sometimes get longer than 6ft but they're pretty lean snakes so still seem small even if that happens)...the list goes on and on.

Wow, Brazilian rainbow boa? Those are beautiful snakes. (Wants one very much ) I'm looking for something I can handle myself when I'm alone are these in that catagory? I know they are super thick and strong even in short lengths.

Re: Boa & Python Sizes?
You know I've thought about this, there isn't really a list by length that I've seen. So I'll try my best, but I haven't kept a lot of these so I am going off word of mouth for many.
XXX Represents about six feet
Boa's increasing size- Rosy, Rubber, Sand (All grouped together), BRB XXX ATB, Dumeril's / Madagascar, BCI, BCC
Python's increasing size- Pygmy, Children's, Stimson, Spotted, Savu, Ball, Chondros, Blood, Savu, Woma XXX Angolan, BHP's, White lipped, Carpet's Burm's, Rock, Retic's
Thats all I got off the top of my head, some may be misplaced but it should be close. Length only not width. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure where you heard that Brazilian rainbows are super thick and strong? They are very lean boas, and certainly easy for one person to handle. You must be thinking of boa constrictors, which are even pretty thick at birth. Rainbow boas are skinny, like very large colubrids.

And this is why I don't give advise for things I've never really had experience. Thanks for correcting me. Rainbow boas are now officially on my future want list.

Re: Boa & Python Sizes?
Add Dominican (or Haitian, depending on the reclassification debate) mountain boas to the list. They're also slender built, similar to a carpet python or rat snake, and aren't likely to grow much more than 6'. Very mellow dispositions, never strike or bite, worst they'll do is musk.
Here's pics of 3 of my 4'+ sub adult males, colors are pretty variable among different individuals, the high reds are the most popular variant:

Thank you, these are pretty and I didn't realize how skiny they are. Btw, I love that play set. Pvc is so easy to work with lol what kind of glue did you use to keep it together?pls, I noticed the end isn't capped, do you ever have a problem with them trying to go into it?

Re: Boa & Python Sizes?
BRB's are a good option.. My female is 7yrs old now and about 6-6.5ft.. Still easily handlable for a single person and a great species to keep. ��
