He ate two large rats 5 days ago and he’s already acting like he’s ready for another meal. He hasn’t started pushing yet though so I’m going to see how much longer he’ll let me go without feeding him.

Wow I missed this from start to now.

I’m sorry I did.

Beautiful animal!

Here’s some more pictures of sonny, the first is a ways back, the rest are all from tonight. The girlfriend is 5’2 for reference this time around.
After having him out I also am leaning towards he’s actually already 6ft long, and he does span half the perimeter of his 4x2 without doubt.

What an adorable noodle, love his coloring his really getting to be a big fella congratulations

Getting some handling time in. I've been pretty busy with a new job but now that everything is settled it's time to daily handling. He is still doing great but he gets real jumpy if i let him slither on the floor or any flat surface and then try and pick him back up. He gets those dilated eyes but hasn't attempted to tag me yet. So anyway back to everyday socializing. Heres some quick pictures i got today, i cant get over how big he is already. He's been getting 2 large rats per feeding and feeding every 7-10 days but were on day 10 now and he hasn't been pushing much at all *knock on wood* so we're gunna go a few more days and give him a single large next feeding.

Sonny decided to leave me with a nice fresh shed and a good sized turd this morning! Took him out for a few minutes of sun. These are just crappy iphone pictures, but hopefully ill get a good camera out and have a second set of hands to get some good shots, tried it alone and he's too long to get good ones by myself anymore.

A bit of forced perspective , I’ll admit, but Sonny is growing like a weed. He’s been on XL rats (using rodentpro’s sizing) for about a month. I give him one and he’s out roaming for another within 4-5 days. I went out of town last week 3 days after he had last fed, and came back 3 days later and he had banged his face up pretty good, so looks like I’ll need to either bump the size up or give him 2 at a time. I have 6 XL rats, 6 2xl rats, and 1 5lb rabbit (i ordered one in the 2lb range but they sent me the 5lb). Looks like it’s almost time for a new order...

All Clean! Sonny had destroyed his enclosure (poo'd EVERYWHERE) so i went ahead and got his boaphile scrubbed heavily, gave Sonny a bath, and took out his pvc jungle gym since he just keeps breaking it anyways. Looks like its time to go ahead and pull the trigger on a larger enclosure too.

yeah, you were right, he's a bottomless pit haha. 90% of the times i get him out you can typically hear a crash followed by "dammit sonny".

Haha, tonight, i opened Rosey's door as she was being a pain and windshield wiping. When she does that, i can usually just open a door and she will sit on the litter dam and be good for hours. Well i went upstairs to finish making tacos and come back down to her behind the TV on top of the PS4 stretching out for the chair. Usually it's Caesar making trouble but tonight Rosey got in on it too haha.
