And as far as measuring LOL!!!! Yeah,, I'm eyeballing it and calling it. Not one to sit still here either.
I hear ya on measuring the squirrelly ones hahha! I got a decent eyeball/cage measurement on Gerald earlier when changing his water. He might be closer to 8’ now but probably about the girth of a red bull can too. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a5d614c955.jpg definitely stretches about one long side and both short sides of the cage. Downgraded to just a warm hide so he has more room to stretch out. Guess I really should put more serious thought into whether to get him a bigger cage or get an 8 footer for Phyllis and give Gerald her T25...

.......8 footer for Phyllis....... :D And dang, Gerald has caught up to Caesar in length. This might mean Caesar is slowing down growing, i hope so lol.

Kind of surprised how close they are in size with such a huge difference in feeding we did and of course, i bet the 43% dwarf and 12% less mainland play into that foot shorter over Caesar. Like i said, I'm just glad Caesar is an attention/petting monster and not a mean retic lol.

Yes,
But remember I was feeding him medium rats from day one, and I think you were on smalls.
So maybe the difference I gained was on the front end of things.
I fed today after 2 weeks and he was completely mental. Wasn't sure if I was going to even get the door open.
I'll feed again on his Bday June 1.
JM,
Gerald looks awesome!!

Lol, i think your retic finally got the memo. Caesar was mental from about 2 hours after i unboxed him and gave him his first rat. He never stopped after that and just got worse as he grew up until probably the past few months when he has started mellowing out on the food drive but once he smells food, he turns psycho again haha.
I am actually going to try to go 2 weeks with Caesar once i find him a nice big rabbit. He was going 10 days being underfed pretty much on 360 gram jumbo rats. Maybe if i up him to the actual right size food, he might last a lot longer in between feedings. I really hope so. Already pushed Pat out to every 10 days from 7 days and he doesnt seem very happy. He has been out on the front perch every night about 5 mins after cage lights go out trying to caudal lure dinner lol. Really funny if you put your finger down on the bottom of the front door on the outside and walk it by like its a mouse. He goes into overdrive with the tail haha.

Oh Wallace has always been nuts during feeding. If I skipped today he’d have been fine. Once it’s time though he’s nuts.
Sniper and Wallace ate today. At almost 6 years old the boa is hitting a bit of a growth spurt.

Lol so has Rosey. She is in blue right now. Since around January this year, she is has shed twice. She is having a growth spurt too.
And gave Caesar his open door time too. He's been pretty quiet recently. I'm actually kind of relieved as it's given me a bit of a breather.

Cool and good to know. Thinking he’s maybe topped or topping off.

Lol neither was I and you’ve seen what I ended up with. Better to plan for 10’ and be happy when he ends up 8.5’ instead. At my rate I’m planning for 12’ and hoping to god she slows down soon, as I’m a solo keeper and not a big dude either
