Good to know for when I get her, thank you.

How big should I expect to see a female guyana get at minimum?

Facepalm!


I forgot it was bcc. I have no hands on with a pure bcc but I know my buddy's salmontine eat small meals less often. I also know they do have a slower metabolism and many a bci keeper has hurt their bcc by feeding them like a Colombian.

So I should just feed a normal size meal every 10-14 days then?

A tad smaller then the thickest part of the snake.

GBU Enterprises in Lodi, CA. They do most of their breeding and have some pretty awesome reptiles. My favorite which I will NEVER touch is their albino rattlesnakes.
