Re: Female BCI weight?
I'm not sure, that seems to be a tad bit light though. My male is 3.5 years old, 6'3" and 8.5 lbs. He gets fed a rabbit or a rat that doesn't leave a lump every 4-5 weeks, and I've begun fasting him during the winter. I'd say she'd be about his weight or a little heavier, maybe 8-9.5 lbs for her current size? I wouldn't worry *too* much about weight, if she looks to be in a good body tone. Keeping track of weight is good to see how much weight she's losing or gaining, but I'd look more towards her body tone and how you feed her to see if she's a good weight. Then when she's fully grown see where she ends up. I'd say 20+ lb sounds good for a 9'+ snake, but a 6' boa should never be that heavy (and I've seen people claim their 6' boas were this heavy).
