    ^^ This.

    Both can get big compared to other localities. I've seen female pure BCC at 11-12'. Males usually stay shorter.

    As an adult I'd plan on him needing a 48"x30"x18" enclosure at minimum, figure he'll top out eight to ten feet. Fortunately you have a few years before he gets that big.

    Don't push food on him like you would a python, BCC have slow metabolisms. At his age he can eat every two to three weeks and the feeder should leave no or a minimal lump.
