>>Hey Cindy.
>>Well, the BHPs average about the size of a boa constrictor. Between 6 and 8 feet....with a medium build. I like to keep mine on the lean side.

So a smidge larger than they look. Alas having both burms and bloods, they are still what i would say as being a small snake!

>>Of course, a captive diet will cause animals to get slightly bigger...and the fact that BHPs don't eat rodents in the wild very often....will make for larger animals.. (as they don't get that type of fat naturally).
>>

Do you vary and offer things like chicks?

Really be prepared for some questions on these guys closer to October and tinley, in the event that my husband buys one. You know how kids are, they bring home a pet and the "mom" cares for it!
