He probably thinks you'll never discover his new hiding place.

Silly boy.

Hey's looking great jmcrook!

Do you know his weight? What is he eating currently and how often?

I am curious of the growth rate versus Feliz (a dwarf Venezuelan BCC). Feliz was born end of September of 2017, so he's about 3 1/2 years old. He's currently on small rats every two weeks and 830G.

Jeff, my male BI, is growing faster than he was and is 2 and on weaned rats already. So that's male BI to male BCC, but I am curious about your guy, who will definitely be much bigger than Feliz when grown. If Feliz gets much over 5 feet, that would be surprising.

Meanwhile, I still have my female BI, Behira, on medium rats and she's 2.2kg at 4 3/4 years old.

Anyway, growth rate and food intake are pretty correlated, but I imagine male and female and dwarf vs. full size all make a difference. Don't know for sure, hence asking.

Sorry, don't mean to take over the thread at all. I appreciate the understanding in advance.

He's gorgeous.

Check out that developing 'bulge' and elongated tail after the cloaca...looks like he might be nearing sexual maturity...It can be more difficult to see this change unless the critter is of perfect weight. Congrats on that sir.

My oldest male was 6 before he was sexually mature. I have a male from Vin R. that is three this year...he appears to be the same size as your guy but is not showing the male tail development yours is.

I had to go check on my 3 year old male after making that post. He just shed in the last hour so I gave him an examination...he is starting to show the signs but not as much as your stud.

Sorry for the late response, I was at a wrestling meet all night watching my son's team.

That boa is incredible and looks in perfect health.

Unfortunately, your post and a recent feeding video my friend Bryan sent me has me wanting "one last snake".

It isn't in the foreseeable future but I'm plenty fine looking at this one and dreaming.
