Hey there, any information you want on the BHPs....just give me a shout.

or you can check my website below.
The one thing I hear people say about BHPs are their size. BHPs are NOT supposed to be any bigger than 6 to 7 feet. It's very rare that you would see an individual in the wild over 7 feet. And even then...they are very slim and trim snakes in the wild.
The reason they get big in captivity (and the reason 95% 0f the people working with them can't get em to lay eggs or hatch them if they do) is the over feeding on the commercial rodents we feed in captivity.
They require a certain feeding regime to be kept and bred successfully over their life time.
Here's a video I recently made and it shows a good size range that the western BHPs should have. They are slightly smaller than other forms of BHPs.
