This past July I took some pictures of Isis, my 2008 columbian red tail boa (that's a BCI, right) and she was somewhere between 600 and 700 grams in weight, eating 1 small rat every week. Today I decided to have a little photo shoot with her and get a weight on her since I haven't since July. I have no idea what she is supposed to weigh as an adult. I've tried finding out the answer but so far, no luck. I know she is supposed to get up to 7-9' long but as far as weight, I have no idea. I'm going to find that snake measuring program so I can find out her length.
In these pictures she does have a full belly. I've just bumped her up to eating 2 small rats.
The same paper towel roll from her previous photo shoot.
On the scale - 1122g with two small rats in her belly, so over 1000g now!
Back in the tub she goes.
That is a small crock. It is 4 inches in diameter.
This girl is getting so strong already. MUCH different from ball pythons. She squeezed my fingers while I was holding her and my fingers started turning red. I can only imagine the color my fingers will turn with she is full grown.
Thanks for looking!
