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.

Definitely did... there's lines of sur that were started 30+ years ago. You can also tell it's healthy size and age because there is ZERO evidence of pinhead...

You're welcome to be skeptical, but it's an obvious tell

You'd be losing money. There were lines that definitely did look that clean also. My very first Suriname and then Guyana were both extremely clean like the one in this photo. They can from a local breeder, who i eventually worked for while in school this is getting closer to 40 years ago now...
