Thanks Rich! He's growing too! He's really started to put on weight since he went to Rat Fuzzy's.
He could take a rat pup now, but I am feeding weekly still, and am going to wait a bit to move in prey size. No need to rush, especially with a BCC.
I'll tell you what though, he's got the fastest strike I've ever seen. Last night, I had the rat a few inches to his front/right. His head was at the acrylic door and I had the rat basically next to him. I expected him to turn and strike. NOPE! He struck sideways, grabbed the rat, and did a 90 degree move while wrapping it and ended up in the middle of the tank. This all happened in less than a second. WOW.
He does strike hard and fast, but he also strikes quickly, so there's no waiting and I don't get anxious. Behira sometimes stalks the prey for a minute and then strikes. That makes me crazy! Is she going to strike? When is she going to strike? Quick strikers don't make me anxious at all.

Feliz is getting a little too happy to see me. In other words - he thinks food a lot now! Good thing he's hook trained already. Calms right down the second he sees/feels the hook handle. No striking or anything, but I know the look and the movement of a Boa wanting food :).
Once out, as with Behira, he's a total puppy dog.

Thanks Gio.
He was a holdback for color. Tommy Carpenter (TC Reptile) held him and his brother back (he's the first picture of the thread, with a dog bone in his tail pattern) and could only keep one. I twisted his arm for Feliz. I send him updates and he says, I think semi-jokingly, that he regrets selling him.
I think it's only Tommy and one other breeder in the USA of True Venezuelan Red Tails, the real dwarf BCC's.
