Size in BCI's

[ThEmAdHaTtEr]

hey guys, Im gunna sell my Female BP to a friend here pretty soon. Gunna fill that tank up. But I dunno if I'm ready for a BCI. I handled a 5 footer and, lemme tell ya, it was the COOLEST thing....oh boy, now I want one. But the problem is, I dont wanna be stuck with a 12 foot BCI. How big do the males get? Whats theyre growth like? Do they go on feeding strikes like BPs? Thanks all.
