Hi Rachel
For some reason it seems familiar.Thanks for sending.
I have changed my feeding by a week this year to every 3/4 weeks now.
After talking to a couple people about the size differences,they say same thing Rachel.
Some boa's just grow bigger faster then others.
They are brothers so i wonder if its in the breeders bloodline?

Well as for size difference I find when fed on the same schedule "I feed on a 10 to 14 day schedule" some do tend to grow bugger than others and I believe it is genetic dispositions.
Here is a group photo to compare, The boas in the shoot are all 2011's except the El Salvador who is a 2010
The 10' El Salvador is barely bigger than the super hypo het anry sitting with him, She is getting huge in comparison to the others of the same age!
In the mix is a Sonoran, a Hog Island an El Salvador along with 3 morph boas from different breeders and litters

And in order of size with a comparison object included in the pics,
.
Sonoran

Hog Island

Paradox anry

Hypo het albino

Super hypo het anry

and finally the 2010 El Salvador

.
I hope this helps a little, As with people you will get variations with different parents and even variations with in the same clutch of babies from the same parents.

Thank you Varnis
I was kinda leaning towards a genetic thing.
when they breed next year i will hold back from a few litters and do some comparisons
with them and some others i produce.
Best of luck to you this year..
