Re: my dumerils boa

Ok, I'll take your word for it but he looks more stout than 10 lbs.

Re: my dumerils boa

Just verified it and he's right at or just barely over 6'.....its tough to measure him, as he doesn't like to hold still and was getting pretty mad at me lol. He's not nearly as thick as your male yet, but he's also only almost 5 years old. I'm sure he'll end up being a really big boy.

Oh, and he's 9.8 lbs. He keeps getting longer with every shed, but hasn't bulked up completely yet.

Re: my dumerils boa

Sounds like it. I think it's really cool to have a young male over 6'.

Re: my dumerils boa

Yeah, I was a little concerned when I got him since he had been severly underfed for the first nearly two years of his life, but he's becoming a very big and impressive snake with regular, appropriately sized feedings.

Re: my dumerils boa

i am still baffled from when i used that serpentine wizards thing. i'm pretty sure the snake isn't over 7 ft but i'm not positive.

Could it maybe be that the program is measuring the snake with the assumption that the tape is only 12" including the case? That would definitely cause it to overestimate the length of your snake. Just a thought....

Re: my dumerils boa

no becuase you set up the specific points. i put a point at the edge of the tape and a point on 12 inch mark and marked it as 12 inches in the program.
