The key to getting them big is feeding hatchling what they want to eat....everything. The first two years are key to any snakes growth potential. Nice looking king. You'll enjoy it thoroughly. They are garbage disposals!

    Garbage disposal is right!! He acts like he's starving ALL the time, and I feed him a small rat every 7 days!!!

    How long would it take him to get full size? Or do you think he's already full grown? The guy I got him from said he was about 3 years old.

    He is most likely done with any sort of growth spurt. Adults continue to grow, but at a very slow rate....maybe 1/2"-1" a year.
