Boa Constrictor Growth Rate! How Big Do They Really Get? 

"They dont live in these bins" well thats a relief 😅

I love the close ups where you want to show us your snakes. You have so much obvious respect for these animals but I can tell you're proud of them too. I know that if they didn't make you happy, you wouldn't have them, but I'm glad we get to see that connection from you. Thanks Jason for another awesome video!

Was waiting for this!!!! Just got a 7 month old BI, this is great info.

I love the smile you give when you show a close up of a snake you're super proud of 😁

Tho I just recently subbed, I always liked how much respect you bring to the hobby! Just having a healthy content animal instead of bragging how big and heavy they are for instance, good on ya bud...

I am taking in a BI from a friend who can't care for him anymore this week, so this was helpful to see! He is close to two years old, so he still has a bit of growing to do.

This video is perfect. I have a 6 month old bci and my wife is terrified of it growing up.

Appreciate the video! Always enjoy them, highly informative.

Man, thank you so much. This video will always be useful! It may have been made 3 years ago but it’s helping me out so much!

Great video, Jason. Keep ‘em coming bro.

Wish there were more videos around like this when I first was getting into boas, years ago. They do vary in size even as adults, but this video provides an excellent representation of what to expect on average. Thank you for another great video on boas, and keep the boa morph eye candy coming! 🥰

My BCI was 8 ft. 4.5 in. long when she passed away at the age of almost 35 years, but I don't think she really grew much in the last several years of her life. I couldn't measure her length exactly when she was alive, because she would never quite sit still or straighten out enough. She wasn't very bulky, as I never fed her all that much. Mainly I just fed her large or jumbo rats at a maintenance frequency. At her maximum weight I think she was about 28 lbs.

There are some male boas out there that just throw the concept of their average size out the damn window. Emily over at Snake Discovery has a male BCI that is almost 8 feet long.

Thanks so much. Excellent comparisons and comments!

Thanks man this was a very informative video. I'm still amateur to snake keeping and as of now I have a two year old gray banded king snake, but wanted to get a boa in the near future. Your video has been very helpful with future planning for a new addition to the family. Also found your channel through the hypo motley boa vid you did. Good stuff man!

Thank you for making this video! This was very helpful. I look forward to watching more of your content.

Great video! Answered a lot of the questions i was looking for. Definitely keep making videos like this!

Thanks for another good one, I found your channel a few months back and going back through them. A lot of good info

Great way to start my weekend thanks jason keep them coming

It's really interesting to hear you talk about the different snakes. My grandma was a sheep breeder and I've had some sheep as a hobby and also a small breeding project, and you talk about your animals in a way that reminds me of many breeders I've met. In particular, it reminds me of my grandma, because even though at one point she had almost 100 sheep and was regularly breeding them and had them as a business, she was really passionate about them as a project and cared for all of them as individual animals. She had to sell most of her sheep because she was getting older and her flock was a larger breed that she couldn't manage as well as she used to, but she still has her smaller, much more manageable goats and a couple favorite sheep.

Great video!!...Really looking forward to the localities one

thank you for this!! so helpful to see these side by side comparisons for boas like this :)

Brilliant. It's good to show how long they take before they are basically full grown . I always thought about 5 years for most species but it's not always the case ,it can take even longer than that

Thanks Jason for an awesome video. I am preparing for my first boa and I've been looking for a video like this.

Another great video, as expected. Loads of good info 👍🏻

I was looking realy long for a video like this. thank you so much :)

Not to schooled on boas so this video was very helpful, especially in the size variances from Male to female, young to adult This helps me make more of a conscious decision on if I will purchase one or not, thanks!!

Great job, Jason, I really enjoy your videos, staight forward, absolutely no BS and really informative. I appreciate it bro.

Thanks for a giving good visual idea of the sizes! I have a 1.5 year old female boa I ordered arriving this week and am really excited to see how she grows over the years. She's just a pet since I don't breed or anything but the handful of snakes I currently have are all smaller species so a snake with some size will be really cool.

I enjoyed this comparison! great video

thanks for this video :D i've had a ball python for about 2 years now and i'm looking into getting a bci so this video was very helpful

Thank you so much for this video! It was exactly what I was looking for!

So excited by this video! Been looking for this kind of information for awhile so I can judge my 6 month old boas growth

Thank you for this it really helped me out ❤

Very useful, thank you! We’ve had our BCI for about 8 months and she’s approaching her first birthday! Looking forward to continuing watching her grow.

great vid, cant wait to see the future one on localities!

The video we were all waiting for.

Really useful thank you.

I am so glad I found your channel. I just got into boas and have 6 babies. I look forward to watching your videos after work at night. You have the most amazing info and have made me more confident in owning my boas. I've even been able to work with and hold my most defensive girl. She's really such a sweetheart but was so scared and defensive when I brought her home.

This was one of your better videos, keep it up great job.

Your videos have really been helping me allot, thank you. And your snakes are beautiful!!

i just found your channel, keep doing what you are doing. Please, the info and the range of snakes you have, answering questions i had from years of snake keeping. I have only had one boa before and was wondering how and how fast they can/do grow depending on food. AWESOME stuff man

Great video man, good info. You already said you're going to do a video or videos on explaining the differences in localities so I have nothing better to suggest. Though, I'm definitely looking forward to that since finding that information isnt all that easy for the less popularized localities.

Great video Jason thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏

Wow thanks for doing this video I’ve been looking at getting a Nichog boa and u showing sizes really helps me finalize my decision to get one thanks. Your snakes are beautiful by the way.

Very nice 👍🏽 video you are a excellent source of preference thanks for all you do keep up the amazing work 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Thanks for making this...subbed

Excellent video! Incredibly timely, too, I just got a Guyana Boa Constrictor, or a true red tail, he's absolutely beautiful. I think he's less than a year old, and adult male boa size seems just perfect for me.

Thanks for what you do man!

One of the Best Reptile Channels out there! For Real 100% thanks so much for all the great information on Such Pertinent Topic Information. Watching "The End Of The Reptile Industry" next. Even when i don't have time, I send these in a message to myself to watch later! Never any BS coming from Jason.

awesome video, Thanks!

Love your honesty about weights n sizes bro. Great upload and beautiful snakes 🤘

this is insanely helpful!!!

Great vid!

Beautiful Boas! I'm going to be getting my first one in a couple of weeks. Had pythons, corns and kings before so I'm excited about my first central american

Bro, you’ve inspired me to start collecting! As a kid I was obsessed with snakes. So much to the point that I’d ride my bike up to Petco almost everyday to hold the snakes and help feed em. The employees were super chill about me constantly bugging em so that made it nice. I recently got a Ball Python and now I’m getting a BCI Boa-you’ve convinced me, I know I can handle that size eventually as I see now that the growth rate can be slow! Great informative videos-glad you didn’t get tagged up like that other time haha!

Great video as allways.

I enjoyed this video and it was fun watching you working with the big male and female trying to educate us on size. Great video buddy

boy you have some beautiful snakes Jason and you have some great knowledge of what you keep, lots of useful information ty bud

Thank you ! Love your vlogs. Happy Thanksgiving !

Cool Jason, I always enjoy your videos. 👍🏼

Jason Thank You so much for ur videos an sharing this video . I've raised my boas off ur videos an I thank you so much for all the boa videos.

Awesome vid, love the channel.

This was super helpful to this new boa owner

I really love ur content, I watched every video since I subscribe. Pls never stop doing education vib about boas, it seems like your the only one on RU-vid that’s knows what ur talking about. You should do “which one is better plastic tub or glass tank” video

This is amazing. I wish every species had videos like this.

So helpful. Thank you!

Omfg finally! Thank you! Nobody has good educational videos for boas on here except a select few!

Great video.. Keep them coming!

This is exactly what I’ve been wanting to find out!

good info dude! i just got a 6 month old Boa

When you start arguing with people in the comments over bins before you get to the part of the video where it becomes clear they were all joking...

As always another great video....

Thank you!!

Thanks for the video I've got a 6 week old BCi he has doubled in size in the month I've had him

Hi Jason, this was a great video, and thank you for filming this. I needed to see some sizes to compare to my Hog Island boa cross Female, who was sold to me as a 2017, but I do not think she has the size of a snake that old. So, thank you again for this video.

Fantastic topic brotha

thanks for this!! love boas

Good vids man👌

Thanks, I just got ordered a my first boa constrictor.😊

I absolutely love your videos. I am a new snake mom and you’ve helped me tremendously with all the videos. Please come back to RU-vid!!! We miss you over here!!!

Love your boa breeding videos, there aren't a ton out there and yours are very informative

amazing info thank you

I am watching this helpful video in 2021 thanks....

Cool and educational.

Appreciate the hard work,keep up the content,very cool dude,i have done buisness with this guy,man of his word,NOT full of hype,like most!!!!!!!! Respect jason,take care,love wat u do

1:46 Happy baby so happy him struck out to bite. Being a baby probably got spooked or felt warmth and movement looking for food. Didn't bite handler so no worries.

Fantastic size comparisons, it helped me solidify my decision on getting a female. What can I say, I love the look, size, and girth of them.

Great video! I feed a prey that juuuust leaves a lump and feed every two weeks. But I believe in slow growing my snakes only because I am not a breeder. Brilliant looking boas!!! The bigger they get the more beautiful they get.

Awesome snakes one of your other videos helped me confirm I had a BCC at the shop I got it they had it labeled as a Guyana red tail

Thank you!!!!!!

Good stuff right there homie!

Loving the Boa stuff

Great! Good to see how big a male can get, as I'm planning on getting one. Thanks for posting!

I have a male hypo boa imperator, and this video made me feel alot more comfortable about buying him. I really like the snake, and have been afraid of his adult length. So by seeing the adult male you had showed they can be very manageable. Thanks for the video

Thank you for doing this! I see pictures all the time on fb but they don’t give you the right image as a video does!

Good stuff man! I have a 2 yr old BCI. She is prolly around 5 ft!

LOVE THIS VIDEOS!!!!

Great vid! Gives me an idea of how big my boy should get.

Thank you man. I want a boa.
