"Boa constrictor" is actually the name for a species of snake that has approximately 10 different subspecies. The Boa constrictor can reach lengths of anywhere from 1-4 meters (3-13 feet) depending on the locality and the availability of suitable prey, but the average size of a mature female boa is between 7-10 ft, whilst it is 6-8 ft for the males.

"Python" is the name of a genus of snake with 7 recognized species and at least 7 subspecies.

  • Angolan pythons grow to about 1.8 m (6 feet)
  • Short-tailed pythons (3 subspecies) grow to 1.5-2.5 m (5-8 feet)
  • Indian pythons (2 subspecies) grow to 2.4-3.3 m (7.9-9.8 ft) depending on subspecies, gender, and location
  • Ball/Royal pythons generally do not grow to more than 90-120 cm (3.0-3.9 ft) in length
  • Reticulated pythons can grow to a length of more than 8.7 m (28.5 feet) and are the world's longest snakes, but they are comparatively slender - the green anaconda may be heavier
  • African rock pythons (2 subspecies), Africa's largest snake, may approach or exceed 6 m (20 ft)
  • Timor pythons are a fairly long, reaching more than 2.1 m (7 ft), but relatively thin

Which type of snake is larger, depends on which species of python you are considering, but on average, pythons would be thought of as larger than boa constrictors.
