    My male BCI...Big boy or not????

    Hey all!

    Right, this is my question.....I have a male BCI (sept 06), who's last complete shed (about 3 mths ago) measured just over 6'4"! (the last 2 have been caught in the branches)

    Now, I know that the shed skins are going to be longer, due to natural stretching, but the shed was complete & at the bottom of his viv, not stretched around anything.

    My question to you lot is.....Are you of the same thinking as myself that my little boy may be a monster????

    I'm having real trouble keeping him still enough to measure him properly on my own & I really need to get some new photo's of him, but here he is when he was 8mths old with my little Princess......



    Soooo??? What d'ya think?????

    He looks like a real beauty! I personally love monsters! My friend Rapture was over the other night and helped me measure my BCC Margo... I took a tape measure and measured a section of the floor, and then we "stretched" her out to get a close measure. 1 ft. tile is a great way to get their length also!
    Grey Scale is a good thing...

    That is a little on the big side for a male, but it's not too odd. My BCI was 6'4" at 2 years old and is probably 7' now at 3 years old. The sheds do stretch a lot as his are over 8' long now.
