I have owned lizards for the past 15 years, but earlier this year I got my first snake at a reptile show. A young BCI. It was sold to me as a "Red Tailed Boa X Hog Island Boa" but based on pictures I've seen of Hog Islands I'm not entirely sure. No information on the Red Tailed Boa part, the vendor didn't even know the snakes sex (I am pretty sure its a female) or exact age, though they claimed the snake was under their ownership for a year (while also claiming the snake was about a year old) and stayed relatively the same size, so I'm assuming this snake is around 2 years old. The snake seemed healthy though and I just thought it looked cool so I took it. Currently around 51 inches long,
Regardless, I'm extremely uneducated on morphs and localities, so for the past few months I've been wondering what the heck my BCI is. Does this match up with a Hog Island cross or is this something completely different?(Also another question on here, I have been feeding it a small rat once a week, and I am just wondering if the snake is under or overweight, I believe I should up that to a medium rat but I just wanted to check because I want to keep the snake as healthy as possible).
