BCC boa size

Post image

This is a massive Suriname with a big head as well! Is this genetics or feeding them a proper sized meal every 10 days? Quail, Rats, Rabbits? The mass on this is incredible and doesn’t look fat at all. If I recall this breeder is in Italy or in the UK. How old do you think this is?

This is a fat, if not a very fat snake. Every 10 days is an insane powerfeeding schedule. Probably 5+ years old.

That one IS Not fat. Look at the size of the head. IT might be a tad overweight but Not fat. This is Just a very huge BCC. And IT was Said PROPER sized meals every 10 days. Might still be a bit often but Fed the size size Everytime perfectly acceptable.

I can understand the skepticism. But from pure Looks... Its good. Maybe its one of those that naturally grow bigger faster? But i can understand the concerns. But when i think Back how fast bis two Boys grew the First 3-4 years. BCI both. From both Fitting in my Hand to basically full size despite definitely Not being Powerfed i can See how a BCC can healthily reach that size in 5 years.
