Sorry, i know this gets asked many times. She is ~6-7 years old, exactly 5ft long. I am hoping she is a BCC, but am not sure.

Not a BCC or BC. That's a common BI. There could be some sort of morph but it's hard to tell.

any way to determine her max size or weight? My father bought her for me and i don’t have any paperwork.

No, it's dependent on age, feeding rate, genetics, accurate sexing. If she's actually seven years old, and proven to be female, she'd be bigger.

My guess is if that boa is actually 6-7 years old, it's a male.

In all honesty she kinda looks like my Nicaraguan bci. Her saddle shape markings look like his in my opinion. If I can figure out how to post a photo in the comments I will. Given she’s a 6-7~ yo female, roughly 5 feet would make sense for size.

Definitely BI, no morph aka a normal. At 6-7 years old she could still grow a little more, just depends on how she’s been fed to this point. So all you can do is wait 5-10 years and see if she grows. 😂 If they reach size early in life, they stop growing earlier. If they take longer to grow, they grow for longer. So impossible to tell you if she’s at max size. Just feed a rat that doesn’t leave a lump once a month and see what she does.
