They usually give plenty of cues before they let you have it, but I find them 10 times more interesting than royal pythons.

The second part of your question is also difficult to answer without more info. What locality is your animal? BCC, BCI? Central American, South American?

If it's a male, even some mainland male boas will max at 5 feet.

You will hear from more than 1 experienced keeper that it's almost impossible to underfeed a BC.

Without more specific info it's hard to answer your questions.
I honestly don't know if it is BCC or BCI. I got him from a guy that had to get rid of him cuz he said his girlfriend and son were afraid of him. So, Im guessing he didn't have him long. He told me he fed it pre-killed every two weeks. I feed it live every 5-7 days. I thought he was kinda boney when I got him. But was told boas are suppose to be narrow and square shaped. Since I have been feeding him, he is getting to be a more rounder square shape. Andis getting a little bigger. I mean bigger as in, he is eating more. Im not saying he underfed him. He just seemed underfed to me. And, doesn't seem like he was handled much cuz he just goes ape-wild when I try to pick him up, and acts like he may try to snap at me. EXAMPLE: When I feed I just don't drop the rat in. I hold it by the tail till he grabs it. One time, I was holding it at the other end of the tank, and he still struck towards my face. But, then he went after it. Not real sure if it was an actual strike at me, or not. But he still did. But, anyways. All the RTB's that I looked up that were only 4.5ft long were all around 2-2.5yrs old. And, if mine really was 6yrs old. Thought it should be longer. If I had a way to put pics on here, I would.
