    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I am considering purchasing a male Bolivian silverback Boa (B.c.amarali)
I'm wondering if anyone here has had any experience with them.
I already own a 5+ foot male Ball Python and a 2 yr. old female Brazilian Rainbow Boa.
I am looking for information about size(girth) and weight that they attain and temperament if anyone knows.
I do know that these snakes are said to grow slower than some, so it would be several years before it would attain it's maximum size. But I just want to do all my research and know what I'm getting myself into before I purchase a larger snake.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Depending on how often you feed the snake will determine how fast it will get big. Bolivians are typically smaller boa than lets say common boa or a true redtail bcc. Average size is about 6ft. and can reach larger lengths. They are also a more heavy set boa. I have a few and like them very much and arent to common in collections.
