I'm excited!

I've been slowly rearing two young male C. bibroni bibroni (Fiji boas) and now they are finally ready to try breeding. I have just received a HUGE breeding female from my friend, and tomorrow we go for it.

Only thing I'm worried about is the size disparity: she is almost 2m long, the males are just over 1m. They only weigh about 225 gms, haven't weighed her yet but she's 4 times as thick. Doesn't look like a likely match, but I am assured it is physically possible, so here we go....

Here are some pics of Thomasina, she feeds weekly on chick and chicken portions, (I kid you not), and I hope is about to found a dynasty.
