 Simple Question

Just wondering how long a hatchling boa is? I’ve looked on the internet and all I can find is adult length. Thanks interested in getting one also if someone could tell me how long it usually takes to get to full size couldn’t find that either.

hatchling is normally 18"-20"
and growth rate really depends on how much you feed your boa.
Boas that are fed bigger and sooner will grow much faster than one who isnt fed as much.
It really all depends on how much you feed them, normally, I’d say around four to six years would be full grown, at the most. hope this helped.

I have kids and I wanted to be sure that I could properly take care of the snake without haveing to worry about any accidents. oldest is 5 so I will wait awhile but I wanted to be sure about how long it takes them to get fully grown. I appreciate the info but I think that I will stick to my wifes Ball Python for now. Maybe get a Jungle Carpet Python for me instead till the kids move out. The youngest will be here on the 10th of October so that gives me at least 18 years maybe more right.
