I believe they’ll be more heavier bodied than the olive as adults, but the BCO does have the potential to reach 8-10 ft. Temperamentally they’re very similar, really mellow and fun to handle, but they each have a very strong food drive. I can pick any of them up without using a hook first if I wanted but I don’t. I really can’t say which would make a “better” first big snake. IMO it’s a draw!
