im in the process of building their new home which is about 7 foot lengthwise and should do them for their life or if not the majority!

not sure how fat they will get, prob thickness of forearm at a guess and nah they will get no where near the size of a burmese! should top out about 7ft at a guess but dont know the history of the female so not sure how big the parents were, think bernies parents were around 6-7ft from what andyj told me on here

sounds like an accurate enough guess ian, i reckon i would agree, remember though a burm of equal length is like a worm compared to an adult boa, they only get wider because they get longer

lovely boas..

are you housing them together??

just be aware if you do, thats occasionally, boas CAN eat each other...

be careful basically! if one is hungry and strikes at the other by mistake... this is what can happen..

you can see this boas viv mate...

inside its belly...







even keeping them solo, there is small risk..



(that one died btw)

honestly they are best off housed singley especially as babies..

this one ate a royal...



and then was very very sick...



sorry if those shocked people, but i thought you would all be more shocked to come down one morning and see something like this in your own front room..

it also seems to be very difficult for people to realise that it is not ok to house two royal pythons together.
