How Common Are Fat BPs Really?

Was pretty interested in what others have to say on this too. Personally I haven't seen any, but i'm sure they exist from what i'm reading above.

I've also learned to avoid facebook groups, in my own experience. They always seem to be giving different information every 5 seconds.

Tell me about it. This came out of a Boa group BTW. I am only part of it to see the pics at this point. There are some pretty elitest people in that group.

I hear you on that one. I think many people on FB groups just regurgitate what they have been told by mods, etc. as the gospel with little or no experience. The person on the boa group was probably just applying what they've seen to BPs (i.e. if there are a lot of fat boas, there must be a lot of fat BPs) or they don't know the proper body shape of BPs vs. what you would want in a boa.

I've honestly had a hard time getting my BPs to put on weight and eat consistently.

... or they don't know the proper body shape of BPs vs. what you would want in a boa.....

I suspect this is half of the problem. I've seen some obese boas for sure, but can't think of any obese BPs. And most boas are always willing to eat, so many
new keepers just over-feed them.
