lol...

I'd guess it to be around 2" - 2 1/2" Diameter

I came to that number by comparing a rolled up sheet of paper to my memory of how full my hands are when holding my adult BRB's.

I would have just measured mine but my female died late summer and I ended up selling my male. However I do plan to buy more once fiances are more stable. Female died of a large growth inside of her...no clue what type of growth, just felt a large lump too high up to be stool, and too long since last meal to be the meal. I miss her, she was a great snake. Definitely want more BRB's they are a good size and weight, not too difficult to care for and beautiful.
