BCC Columbian RTB

[Evenstar]

Thank you all again.

She ate her first meal today which made me very excited. Hits "more accurately" and "more confidently" than the BPs it seems.

She weighed in at 70g's before feeding and I will have her on a 5 day schedule with my ball until she needs less frequent feelings.

I really wanted a big snake(why I got a boa instead of another ball) and I just hope she's big enough lol. I'm not ready, nor is our family ready, for a big burm, retic or conda, so she was gonna fill that size gap...

He really is an intriguing creature, and so different from the BP's I'm more accustomed to.

She def seems more "friendly" and most certainly not head shy in the slightest like my BP.

On a side note, I waked in the house today and saw my wifey holding her all on her own(normally terrified of snakes and very resilient to hold my BP) but she made me so proud lol.


0.1.0 Normal Ball Python
0.1.0 Red Tail Boa

Don't worry - your BCI will be a perfect snake to fill this gap. The females especially are very impressive serpents....

But as Gio stated, don't be in a rush to get her there. Feed very slowly and stick to smaller prey items. Boas have a slower metabolism than Ball Pythons do and they do better and are healthier if fed less frequently and smaller items. Most good breeders feed even neonates only once every 7-10 days. Your baby will get as big as nature intends for her and if you raise her slowly she'll be much better off for it.
