    I was reading a book about bci's. It stated that, if young growing bcis are fed too much, they will end up as adults with hugely fat bodies and a small head. Has anyone ever seen a snake like this? I guess the body supposedly can outgrow the head. I keep seeing visions of hugely fat bcis with little pea-sized heads, and I was wondering if this is true.

    That does not compute. The rate of growth of tissue should be proportionate.

    I forget the name of the book, but it was written in the UK. I think that maybe this guy had this theory, because the snakes in question were being overfed and this led to a huge beefy body and a "comparatively" small head.
