Re: Grow, they do...updated pics of my babies ;)
Those are some beautiful babies. They make my 10's look small. How often and what are you feeding? I'm feeding a rat pup every 5 days and my largest 10' is a pastel female that weighs 226g. Thanks in advance. :)

Well, some of mine hatched earlier in the year then others, but here goes...
Maya, Bumblebee female hatched July 24th, currently eats 1 f/t rat weanling and 1 f/t rat pup per feeding. On Dec 25th she weighted 478 gr., that was on completely empty !
Jag, Pastel Yellowbelly male hatched Aug 01, currently eats 1 f/t rat weanling and 1 f/t rat pup per feeding. on Dec 25th he weighted 406 gr. on completely empty.
Lestada, Pastel Lesser female hatched 26 July, currently eats 1 f/t rat weanling per feeding. She still acts hungry, but refuses to take more then one rodent per feeding. I'll up the size to small rats as soon as she can handle it. Last weanling I gave her was almost as big as a small rat and she handled that just fine. On Dec 25th she weighted 334 gr on completely empty.
No name, Super Blast male hatched 13 Sept, currently eats 2 f/t rat pups per feeding. On Dec 25th he weighted 187 gr. on completely empty.
I feed all the snakes about ever 5 to 7 days now that the meal size is bigger. When they were younger and ate smaller meals, they got fed about every 4 days or so. I do not attempt feeding while they are in the "shed phase".
The reason I feed multiple rodents (like the pups) is that I have smaller food size left over and I'm trying to feed it off. My babies have grown so quickly , they've outgrown the smaller rodents faster then I thought they would. I've already had to give away a bag of 50 rat fuzzies since the Super Blast went on to rat pups within a few feedings.
Once I'm out of the weanlings. My next order will be mostly small and medium rats, small rats for the BPs and mediums for my Angolan. The Super Blast should be able to finnish of the Weanlings.
Hope this long drawn out explanation helps, hehe.

Re: Grow, they do...updated pics of my babies ;)
Thanks for the answer. I've only had my 10's for about 2 months. They have all put on 120g or more since ive had them so I think they are doing well. I did just order the next size up so I will be switching them this coming week. Again thanks for the response and keep those pics coming.
