Linda,

....Males of both the Bci and Bcc can get big but the best breeders are often not nearly as long or heavy as the breeding females. Many Bci breeders have 4 pound 5 foot long males breeding with 30 pound or larger females. That female in the PIC is around 9 feet long. It is impossible to measure her accurately because she will not straighten out and using the string method gets differing results. Of my three males one is 10 years old and 7 feet long. One is 7 years old and 8 feet long and the male in the PIC is around 6 feet long. My other adult female is 8 feet long. The 8 foot long male and female each weigh around 25 pounds. I also have a yearling female that is about 4 feet long. All of my Bcc are still growing and perhaps one or two will exceed 10 feet in legth in a couple years. Most of the really big 10 foot Boa Constrictors are females.

>>Well, I don't think her butt is too big....unless you look at it with the lights on. I know you've been waiting on BCC for a bit and I hope you have your full of them before long. Amazing,the size difference in the male and female was something I didn't really comprenhend before.
