Average litter size?

Which is the average litter size for:
BRB's and Bci's?

im not sure for BRB's but for BCI, and with any snake for that matter it depends on the size, and health of the snake.
i have heard of BCI's having anywhere from around 20-35, give or take a few. In 1 of the videos i have i cant remember which one they say that a 6 foot female weighing around 12-14 pounds or so should give you about 25 babies. but like i said the size and health is a big factor.

i am talking about colubian boas here.
not too sure on the hogs or anything like that.

BCI can have crazy huge litters. I forget who it was, but last year his female dropped a litter of 56 healthy babies! This isn't the average size, but it does happen.

My male BCI was one of 50 potential offspring. 35 survived, 15 slugs passed. Crazy crazy huge litter.

Again not much help on BRB's, but as for B.c.i. another factor is first litters tend to be quite a bit smaller. My Central american female had her first litter this year and only 14 offspring (all viable). My large breeding female (aprox 8'6" & 8yrs) regularly turns out a potential litter (slugs and stillborns incl.) of 40.

Wow! Huge numbers!...yeap, i can agree that older females lay bigger litters. It's true. I know that Boas breeding is way much more difficult than pythons but i'm very fond with boas. So much elegance...i cannot let it pass away without try producing more... (elegance) :D
