In terms of deadliness, a boa contrictor is hardly that. Like all constricting snakes, they do not possess venom. In order to kill a human they would have to literally overpower the human to the ground and squeeze them to death. Since boas grow to 10-11 ft at the largest, it is highly unlikely for a boa to kill a human.
Boas and pythons routinely kill small pets, as they would in nature, and occasionally kill babies and toddlers. If you want one as a pet , make sure you study up on them before you get one. There are things you need to know for their comfort and safety, and for those that share living space with them. Just be a responsible pet owner, no matter what kind of pet you have.
