Looking at a Peruvian Longtail Boa on the market. So I need all of the details about max size and husbandry and all of that.

Boa constrictor longicauda is small for a South American Boa Constrictor, usually not exceeding 6’, although I have heard of 7’ specimens. They are slender boas that weigh less compared to their length than most Boa Constrictors do. Like all Boa Constrictors, females are usually larger than males. As for husbandry, I keep my longicauda exactly the same way I keep my BCC. Anecdotally, some keepers have said that their longicauda seem more inclined to climb than other subspecies, and may benefit from a taller enclosure with sturdy branches. I can’t speak to this, as I am keeping mine in a rack system.
