So, those of you have own Texas Rat Snakes - how fast do they grow? Twix is about the size of a big pencil right now, is the best way I can describe it. I'm just itching for him to put some size on. (Less games of "find the snake in the bedding" I hope) I'm sure he's very young - a few months, I'm guessing? How much will he grow by the time he's, say, a year old?


Also, very unrelated - I see a lot of posts about how Texas Rats are supposedly pretty feisty and a bit nippy. Twix has been amazingly chill, though - what kind of experiences have ya'll had with them? I'd love to get another (I'm hooked), and I'm slightly curious if I just got lucky with this guy, or if it's really a snake-to-snake basis when it comes to aggression. (not that I'm bothered by getting bitten...especially at this size! :-P)
