    Finally!!!!
    So as some of you know I have been away from my bp for 10 weeks since being at college. I got the chance to come down this weekend and I am so ecstatic. I'm waiting for my camera to charge but he is so much bigger!! Definatley has exceeded 500 grams. However I dont have a scale to measure him more than 500 grams :/
    He gets a medium rat every 7 days. Im starting to wonder if he should start eating every 2 weeks.
    I should have pics up momentarily.
    Nothing can explain how I feel right now!!! :P

    I know!
    Should I start feeding him every 2 weeks? or continue the every 7 days thing?
    Poor thing wasnt even 200 grams when I got him at over a year old...and wouldnt gain weight for awhile. So now that he has gotten to this point its really exciting!

    I feed mine every ten days when they eat a large rat, every seven for a medium rat, every five for small rats.

    Well then I suppose every 7 days is good for him.
    You can tell that he isn't handled nearly as much as he was when I was around.
    Because every time I open the tank its immediately feeding response, in an s position.

    Plus he wont come out of his log!! besides at night.
    He loves it, he always pokes his head out of the peep hole when someone walks into the room. Its cute :]

    Finally he came out of his log!!
    I measured him and he grew 7 inches.
    From 29 inches in august to now 36 inches long!!!
    Too bad I have to leave today :( Then I'll be back in a month.
    My parents are convinced he needs to be fed every 10 days. What do you'll think?

    Re: Finally!!!!
    It won't hurt to feed him every 10 days to see how he does. If you can get a small scale that would be good too. Keep an eye on his weight. Then you will have facts to deal with instead of your memory.

    Good Luck!
