Interesting...never thought about the climate issue...just assumed you had huge genes...lol
Just in general (not pointing fingers, this is just my opinion). I do believe that most people in SA dont feed their BIG snakes enough when they are small. I feel that a 25% of body weight every 5 days for the first 18 months should do you right...after that they should be fed weekly. Most people feel this is extreme and some don’t want to spend the money this takes...
I believe there are a couple of factors that play into the ultimate size of a large constrictor: genes, food intake at a young age, temperature and longevity...
Keep your burm healthy and get it old and you will end up with a large snake...
PS-I actually think it’s your food items that are responsible for her awesome condition and size...got to love the piglets!!!
Psalms 144:1
Blessed be the LORD, my rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle.
