shedding

[mike fury]

i got a rtb about a year ago that when i got her i was told she was 4 years old but she was only just about 4 foot and about as thick as a garden hose they told me to feed her a mouse a week i knew they were wrong so i suddenly started to feed her small to medium rats i seen a growing spurt right away but over the year she would shed every month in a half i recently stared to feed her large rat every 2 weeks now she started to shed 2 or 3 times in a month in half she got a lot thicker and and a little bit bigger in length is there a time in the year when they grow quicker then other times or is that normal how big should she be at 5 years old i'm thinking probably full size so maybe she's trying to catch up to where she suppose to be is a large rat every 2 weeks enough or should i give her 1 once a week?

A large rat every two weeks should be fine. You don't want to stress her system and a large rat every week might be a bit much. She does have some catching up to do, but she doesn't need to make up for lost time.
