Hello Mr. Hoyer,

Thanks for all the information you have to offer others here. I have long been a fan of Rubber Boas but my experience has been limited to one WC specimen and one CB specimen. The WC was caught by my brother about 21 years ago when we lived in Monterey, CA. We had a favorite Gopher Snake haunt and one day my brother found the little Rubber Boa. Unfortunately he did not stay but a day before he escaped. About 20 years later my brother happened to purchase a trio of Rubber Boas, one of which he gave me. I ended up returning this to him when I was getting rid of some snakes, but this was one of my favorites. Over the course of the few months I had him, he was one of the most aggressive feeders. He would eat up to 7 pinkies at a feeding, and was out prowling each night looking for more. By the time I returned him to my brother, he was considerably larger than his littermates. My question is what is their maximum size (length and girth)? As adults, can they eat adult mice or moles? It is often difficult to judge the size they get from pictures posted as there is usually nothing for scale purpose in the photos. Thanks! Milt
