You have done well with her. Thanks for sharing the pictures of her. Also please keep them coming. She looks great.

Thanks everyone! As she gets bigger she's getting harder to photograph so most of my pictures are in-enclosure pics since she's all curled up. Lol

Well according to SerpWidgets she's officially over 7' now! She's also gotten a tad chunky, so that on top of her recent disinterest in food (by which I mean she's not so quick to the draw - still eats fine), I've decided to keep her on the smaller rats and rabbits and potentially space her feedings out by another week if she continues to be less food driven. Putting her at a jumbo or 8-13 oz rabbit every 3 weeks if I do that.

Here are some more photos I forgot to post here, these are pretty old as she was in shed at the time.






And post-shed pictures. She reaaaally darkened up a few days later, which disappointed me but oh wells.






Here she is darkened up, trying to show her size. The wooden enclosure is stacked on top of another wooden enclosure, and both are 3' tall.

Great job raising this one.
I figured you'd have a 12 footer by now.

She looks great and has a wonderful set of colors and patterns.

Stunning looking retic! The color in her fresh shed pics are outstanding.

Yeah when she was only 4'-4.5' at a year I knew she wouldn't be big by her 2nd birthday. I'm trying not to power feed her either, so she'll take a bit longer to catch up. She might hit 12' by her next birthday though we'll have to see if her growth picks up any, otherwise 9'-10' seems a good guess for her 3 year old size.

I finally weighed River last night, and she came in a 2,670 grams. That's 724 grams since beginning of August.

That gives you an idea of just how light-bodied these snakes are. She's an inch or two over 7', and barely weighs more than a large-ish ball python. She's barely over half the weight of my 6.5' boa constrictor, and he's rather lean, too.

I gave her a bedding change today, and all she wanted to do was sniff the bedding. I even picked her up and tried to hold her but she went right back in to keep sniffing, and she usually tries to get out. lol
