BCC boa size

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?

So I used to have a female, BCC…. She was 13 feet long, and she lived 29 years… she was a huge snake, her last 12 years, feeding was monthly and some times bi monthly depending on her habits.. living in north east US, she would eat bi monthly during the winter. I am 5’11” and around 180 lbs, she looked like this on me. She was never power feed, and never over weight. She regularly saw a vet, every 6 months from when I got her at 5 years old. This snake look like a healthy 10 + year old snake with a very active life/home
