AHHH!!! Nergal--then, and now.

This was when I first got him:

He now could easily weigh 1500+ grams, he's around 3-4 feet long--a HUGE BOY! :D
Here's one last photo of his first shed with me.

You can see he's grown a lot. :)

Far too fast. :( But if only I could get my female ball python to grow like him....:mad:
She and her store-mate are on a ~3 month feeding strike, haven't gained a gram in forever.
They're still bigger than when I got them, though. :wuv:

She looks good!

He looks good to me. Definetly a big boy! You gotta find him a big ol girlfriend now :D

Wow! They grow so, so fast. :tears: It's funny how we get them and think "I can't wait 'til he/she gets bigger," but once they do, it's so bittersweet. I always forget how tiny they are. I just got a new baby so I'm cherishing her size this time around, heh.

Anyway, he looks great! Thanks for sharing. :)

He's looking good. :)

Must be a good eater. He's really gained well! Good looking pattern on him.

about how old is he?

Nergal is about 2.5 years old now. He was 6 months when we got him from Petco. He eats one small rat every week, hardly ever misses any; for a while when we got him he'd eat 1 fuzzy a week, then we moved him on to 4-5 adult mice every week for a bit, now the small rats for the last 8 months or so. :) He's a very big boy! I'm going to try to weigh him in a second, will let you know how much he is if he fits in the scale container. :/
Yes, he'll need a very large girlfriend so he doesn't squish her :D
We hope to breed him to our normal female when she's big enough, just to get some babies so when we get a morph we'll have some babies working their way to breeding size to breed the morph to. :) Trying to time it out right, hope it works. I know normals aren't profitable but it would be good to have some normals in the bunch, I figure, for breeding and stuff.
I think he's very good looking too. Thanks for all the comments ^-^ he's one of my babies.

Got him! 1332 grams today. :)

That is awsome I love watching my sons snake grow and we are bonding around his baby boy.
