Re: BCC Food Size
Ha probably, I'm assuming everyone understands BCCs are not your average eaters.

Re: BCC Food Size
Yes but BCC is not BCI. BCC's have a slower digestion rate, therefor you should not feed it a bigger prey as it will begin to rot before it can be properly digested. I know it should be fine, but it's always good to get another opinion.

Re: BCC Food Size
Yea it also causes them to grow at a slower rate, but when they reach maturity they are likely to out grow a BCI. A common misconception is that they have a "weaker" stomach then a BCI. It is false there stomach is as strong as a BCI just smaller, causing a slowed digestion rate.

Re: BCC Food Size
You'll be fine dude. It seems that it isn't too big for him/her. If you're worried you can always just bump it down for another three months and go from there.
Personally I like smaller meals. Less worry in general.

Re: BCC Food Size
I have surinames and they can eat big meals with no problems man. You snake should be fine. If you where trying to feed it a rabbit I would say something else. Yes they do grow bigger. My female is ten feet and just under a hundred pounds and she is only three. She ate large meals and frequently and it didn't slow her growth down at all. And before it's said, she was not over fed and is in perfect health. Bottom line it should be fine and it's a beautiful snake.
