Pictures of new girl

Here are a couple pictures from tonight of the new girl I picked up 2 weeks ago. She is an 03 and needs some weight on her. Since arriving at the Glass house, she has eaten 2 small rats in 2 weeks and had a shed. She already looks fatter! Now she needs a name...

She weighed at 334 empty when I got her. Sorry, I said she is 2, she was born 6/2004. She is a little over 1. She is still a bit light for sure. She was only fed a mouse per week. No more of that! She has some amazing color and possibly by next season she may be ready to go.

she could definately use some more food :) my girl is a 7/2004 and is 1100g+ ....get her on a good feeding schedule and she should be able to go next season...about how long is she?

And she will get some. All rats all the time in this house! :)

She is about 2.5 feet.

Not bad for $50...

Kyna is a late 03 (best we can figure October 03), 33 inches long, 500 grams as of last week empty. She also never had more than one small mouse every week or so. Until we switched her over to multiple mice and now rat weans...man that chicka can eat!

At that size you should be able to give her a small rat weekly. If my 350 gram girl is taking small rats with ease, it shouldnt be an issue.

good catch jamie! just get her feeding weekly she'll pick up the weight. those rats will pack it on. a couple a week and she plump up!

A couple dude? Maybe that is why I dont have any 3000 gram snakes. I never feed any of them more than 1 small rat per week. From the biggest adult to the smallest, they all get the same.

i have 2 girls that have been eating 3 a week for the past 4 months! they have both gained about 900 grams this year. they are 2300+ and 2400+ grams now. if they are breeder girls and they will eat 2 a week i'll feed them.
if they start to get too thick or the skin shows between the scales i'll back them off a bit. most of mine eat 1 rat but sometimes they will take 2, when they want 2 i do it.
