Hey folks, I just posted this in the Locality forum, but I'm sooo impatient. I've been curious about this for just way too long.

I've kept snakes for most of my life, but never the BCC/BCI's. I've been interested in these guys for a while. Something really bugs me though: I never seem to be able to find much of a reference on the adult size of the "red tails."

I've been casually reading in books and magazines, as well as on the internet, and most sources seem to indicate that the "red tail" localities "get a little bigger than the Columbian."

Specifically, the Peruvian red tails and the Suriname red tails have caught my eye. I know well enough that there is a lot of variation in mature size within a species. I was really wondering what any of your have seen as a range in these localities.

Some of the "smaller" localities appeal to me too - some Hogg Island boas, and what I have seen of Corn Island boas. Any input on the ranges you've seen in their mature sizes would be useful as well.

Thanks,
~Rebecca
