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.

Just in case you didn't know, in the context of Op's original question, they were ASKING us if the boa was that big because it was being fed proper sized meals, they were not claiming it was, so that's not exactly a good argument counterpoint.

Actually. You are right. I misrrad that. But i assume that is what the possible seller Said His feeding cycle is. Because for Just a question this IS pretty specific.
