    Breeding sizes?

    Just curious if anyone has any experiences with boid species and the size of the males. I know that males can breed to many females in a season but does the size of the male matter to how many females he can handle as long as he is mature? This question os mainly regarding B.c.i. since most people including myself like to keep males pretty small but can relate to any boid species. Let me know your oppinions on it

    Re: Breeding sizes?

    Boids is too general of a description to answer it right. Male BP's can breed as many as 10-20 females shortly after they start to produce sperm. Male BCI on the other hand are better bred as pairs. If you try to breed a male BCI to even 2 females, you often end up with poor fertilization of both females. So it really depends on the species.
