They will have the answers you need over there. Can't tell you much about Cubans other than they have a reputation for getting big (11') with an attitude to match. Don't make any judgements about the snake until you see it in person. Just like other animals and people, maybe this is just a small individual and not necessarily stunted. If it is indeed stunted, it will most likely look emaciated or at least thin and overall unhealthy. Why does your coworker want to get rid of it?









>>I'm hopefully going to be getting a 4' cuban boa from a fellow employee at the petstore I work at soon. He's had it for a few years and appearantly it hasn't grown hardly at all on a diet of one mouse per week. From my research, they seem to usually get much larger. On one occasion, he said it ate 8 mice. I'm wondering if it might be stunted from going so long on such a diet. Do you think it would start growing again if I fed it more?

>>Also, if anyone has any experience with this species, do you have any tips for them in particular? I've kept colombian redtails before, so I've dealt with larger snakes before.
