    Kevin looks great G! He’s a hunk for sure! I was hoping my Bredli would bulk up in similar fashion but so far no dice. He’s a 2015 critter and just 1240g. My other carpets are easily 3-4 kg. The Bredli is a part time mouser and takes annual winter food breaks. I really hope he gets to a decent size. That was the goal when I got him. Is Kevin eating large rats? I’m glad he liked the quail. It’s great when they eat whatever you give them.

    Kevin's looking great, Gio! He's looking quite handsome as he matures. I really like what you've done with his cage as well -- I'd like to start adding crisscrossing branches, vines, and plants like yours to my enclosures.

    "Boa-like density" -- as someone who's coming into Morelia from boas, I like this description and find it quite informative. Muscle density and strength isn't something you can always pick up from photos.

    Part of me is still entertaining the idea of picking up a Bredl's in the future, particularly after seeing how much everyone here loves theirs. Their potential size and strength is the only thing that has given me pause so far. If I were to be able find one like El-Ziggy's, though, they'd be home in a heartbeat!

    Impressive melon on that stud.

    You'd know if I had another boa because you'd be the breeder of said snake!

    I decided I'd give Kevin a run at the rail on a 57 degree day here.

    He did well. He's adding size and he's looking good.

    I really like the fact he's only 50% hypo. He's got some other ingredients but I typically like all species that are know as normal.

    Kevin has the lower half of a natural Bredli. I love the blacks coming in.

    He tagged me the other day but we got on very well today.

    This should be a good summer of growth.

    Kevin's looking great! I bet that quick jaunt on a 57 degree day didn't phase him one bit. Gotta love how tough bredli are!

    I agree with you on how awesome the one-gene hypo animals are. It's close enough to the natural "normal" pattern that it's still there, but it just adds that little bit of brightness and something different. There would have been a one-gene hypo or an Afors line bredli here had I gone down that route -- Nick had some very nice looking Afors line males born this year that were quite tempting.
