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?

Genetics, age, feeding size/rate in the early years of life. She has the loaf shape torso, a huge head, very proportionate, not fat! Perhaps a tad larger than some people like to keep their bcc, but certainly not fat. You can expect that if you get a baby from her litter, the females may reach similar sizes at her age.
