Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I had a common "Boa constrictor imperator" that was just shy of 10 feet and weighed over 30lbs, she was a giant boa. April is right though, the parents size play a huge role in the size of the boa. Boa constrictor constrictor, like your peruvians and surinames, grow pretty big but can take longer. Just don't "power feed" him or her to get it bigger faster. Jeff Ronne's stated that every boa he every power fed died before the age of 5 or so. A female BCI or BCC is your best bet, and in my opinion, a BCC is much more beautiful, but cost you more. A nice 09 BCC will be around 200-300 bucks, a BCI from 09 will be around 50-100 for a normal.

some of those sellers are importers/wholesalers, so just be aware. If you can Rich, try to find a CB (captive bred) baby instead of WC (wild caught). You will probably have more luck searching during the summer as that is when new litters will be born.

Peruvian BCC, or if you can find an old school line of Colombian (which is hard to do) they can get pretty big too.
Talk to Gus at http://riobravoreptiles.com/ He's got some nice stuff. In particular, you might ask about his Pucalpa Peru Boas. I know he has a MONSTER female, and who knows what else he's got down there.
