The boa constrictor is a large snake, although it is only modestly sized in comparison to other large snakes, such as the reticulated python, Burmese python, or the occasionally sympatric green anaconda, and can reach lengths from 3 to 13 ft. (0.91 to 3.96 m) depending on the locality and the availability of suitable prey. Clear sexual dimorphism is seen in the species, with females generally being larger in both length and girth than males. The usual size of mature female boas is between 7 and 10 ft. (2.1 and 3.0 m) whereas males are between 6 and 8 ft. (1.8 and 2.4 m). Females commonly exceed 10 ft. (3.0 m), particularly in captivity, where lengths up to 12 ft. (3.7 m) or even 14 ft. (4.3 m) can be seen. The largest documented non-stretched dry skin is deposited at Zoologische Staatssammlung München 2012 and measures 14.6 ft. (4.45 m) without head. A report of a boa constrictor growing up to 18.5 ft. (5.6 m) was later found to be a misidentified green anaconda. The boa constrictor is a heavy-bodied snake, and large specimens can weigh up to 27 kg (60 lb.). Females, the larger sex, more commonly weigh 10 to 15 kg (22 to 33 lb.). Some specimens of this species can reach or possibly exceed 45 kg (100 lb.), although this is not usual. The size and weight of a boa constrictor depends on subspecies, locale, and the availability of suitable prey. reaches, and occasionally tops, the averages given above, as it is one of the relatively large subspecies of Boa constrictor
The coloring of boa constrictors can vary greatly depending on the locality. However, they are generally a brown, gray, or cream base color, patterned with brown or reddish-brown "saddles" that become more pronounced towards the tail. This coloring gives constrictor subspecies the common name of "red-tailed boas." The coloring works as a very effective camouflage in the jungles and forests of its natural range. Some individuals exhibit pigmentary disorders, such as albinism. Although these individuals are rare in the wild, they are common in captivity, where they are often selectively bred to make a variety of different color "morphs". Boa constrictors have an arrow-shaped head with very distinctive stripes on it: One runs dorsally from the snout to the back of the head; the others run from the snout to the eyes and then from the eyes to the jaw.
