thanks, no i dont have him anymore sadly, had to sell him a couple years ago due to financial problems, i wish i still had him though, he was awesome

Ah. Sorry to hear that.

Here are some new photos of my girl.





When I went to give her water like 8 hours after she ate, she was still hopefully looking for another rat despite the giant bulge in her belly. -.-

Her feeding response usually lasts 2-3 days, so I had a hook to tell her no food was coming. It got her to stop zoning in on my hand, but didn't stop her from staring out the top of the tub for a rat. *shakes head*

Snakes, they're like cats sometimes. Always wanting food, getting in the way when you have them out, and using things for their unintended purposes.

"Please mom is time for foods now plez?" They are indeed like cats is some ways

So she didn't exactly cooperate but I sorta got a measurement on her. She's definitely 3.5'+ now and 220 grams. Her, and basically everyone else shed recently, and she ate two days ago, already leaving a huge pile in her tub.

She was being extra spastic and twitchy today, which I expect was because of her recent poo. She's calm atm though, resting on my hand.

She now weighs 237 grams and is eating weaned rats. I'm hoping to buy her a 4'x2' PVC enclosure once I get back from going to the Atlanta Repticon in a few weeks. It should free up some room and give her some more space. Then it will go to Sanji when she outgrows it.

She looks great! I can't believe how fast she's growing! Before long she'll be sliding down Jumbos and rabbits.

Oh yeah she's growing fast and had a food upgrade after only 2 months, I'm probably going to keep her on weaned rats for awhile and drop her a small rat, when she's big enough, every once in awhile when my ball python refuses his twice before throwing them away. That way she should be fine until I need to order my next shipment, even if she has to move up a size again.

Here's today's feeding day, she got a little confused. Lol

shes looking great! its insane how fast they grow too! when i had my old normal male he grew to be 11ft in about a year and a half! glad to hear you're hook training her too its best to start when they are little worms lol just remember to do it routinely, i made the mistake of forgetting to hook my old male when i was putting his water bowl back in his cage after filling it, he tagged my arm, without any warning what so ever, and held on for a good 5 mins and got his new news paper dirty again cuz i bled alot lol i was shocked but it didnt hurt, he was about 8ft too and of course i got pics of the bite before i thought to clean it up lol xD

Yeah I've been using it since I got her, and I almost shut off her feeding response using it to keep her back, but I didn't feel like getting tagged so...

She ended up gently opening her mouth around it, after some decision-making. She's really good at telling when food is or isn't there, but the hook is definitely still a good precaution. The poor girl thinks every movement by her tub is food, and when she comes to investigate and sees it's just a human...she gets this disappointed look and pulls her head into her coils again.

I don't think she'll reach 11' by then, but maybe between 1.5-2 years, we'll have to see.

She now weighs 247 grams and just got through with a shed cycle.

She also got a bit of nose rub because I wasn't paying attention after I fed her and didn't latch the tub in time. I heard some weird noises and she'd pushed out from under the lid and was crawling out. After that, she was hellbent on getting out and rubbed her head a bit raw. It's not bad though so maybe a few more sheds and it will clear up again.











Here she is in the middle of a shed, not happy with her disturbance. She only displayed shed behaviors (hiding away in her humid hide) for 4-5 days before she shed.
