Hey Matt,

I sold mine, but the last time I saw them at their new home, they were also growing fast ... maybe its all the great fresh air in Florida and those big rats you feed them .... but mine also seemed to be growing way faster than my other Central American boas ( Nics, Hondurans, EL Salvador, Mexican, etc) ... personally, I believe the mainland forms of Panamanian BCI can grow almost as big as some of their smaller Colombian neighbors ... however the "island type" (and I use that term very loosely) are a lot smaller ... the 3 sub adults I got from you, (which I would term B.c.sabogae or island type) were much smaller in width and grew much slower ... they are now hanging out in NY with Vin Russo.

All the best with producing some of those Hypo, Reverse Stripes !!

cheers, John
