My biggest snakes are my Argentine boa constrictors. The female is about 7 feet at 7 years old. I haven’t weighed her in a long time, but she must be at least 20lb. I find her easy to care for. She has a good temperament when she knows it isn’t feeding time, so it’s not hard to remove her from the enclosure for cleaning. I don’t handle her much the rest of the time. I use cage liners as opposed to loose substrate, so cleaning is as simple as rolling up the paper, disinfecting, and then cutting new paper and putting it in. She is my favorite snake, for her beautiful coloration, size and temperament. She also makes great babies and is a fantastic feeder. As for whether I’d consider another Argentine, I’d love to get into T+ and Maxx Pink Argentines, although the Maxx Pink line does not get as big. I could also see adding an additional normal female to make it a trio.
