    I have had female reaching that size at 18 months and some that reached that size at 6 years, it's VERY variable.

    The racks you are looking t for an animal that size and bigger is the one using V70 tubs, I have some 3500 & 4000 grams girls in those and generally I move them in those around 2000 grams.

    ^^^^ Like Deborah said and I would add unpredictable on top of it. I have a brother and sister where she grew faster than him for the first year then he overtook her in the second. They are eating the exact same amount of food.

    Re: 2000 gram female ball

    I'm not an expert on BPs by any means so I wouldn't doubt if I'm doing this wrong, but... I keep my BPs of varying sizes in a rack that holds 41qt (cb70) tubs. I have a 3000g female, a 1000g male, and two 450g male/female in that size tubs. For the big girl I give her one hide, the big boy I have two hides, and for the little ones I give them two reptile basics hides as well as two half logs each so that the tub is filled up and doesn't stress them out by being too big/empty. They all eat/poop/shed perfectly and I haven't had any problems so far.

    I just use 41qt---cb70 tubs and just add xtra hides for them as they are smaller. As they grow I take some hides out. When they hit 700g or so I just remove the hides all together and just keep a water bowl in there. They do very well.
