Thank you!
He's pretty long, and bigger than he looks here with my arm in the picture. He actually looks very small here. This photo is very deceiving
However, he's not a huge animal and hopefully won't be.

Man, he looks great, buddy! I’d imagine he’s got to be topping off size wise given age and feeding regiment. Glad you’re enjoying his company! Dude is sure a looker!

That is a very wise outlook on your part. I don't recommend these animals for pets to most people.
Thanks for the nice comments.
As far as retics go, this is a very manageable animal. The father was 5 feet and the mother was 10 feet.
I was not told the ages of the mother and father however, so that could factor into this equation later.
I didn't and still don't want to deal with much more than this for size. A larger boa or carpet would be a lot easier to handle and work with.
If I experienced the issues that two of my friends had here with my guy, I'd likely not have Wallace.
BUT,,,,, I'm quite happy with how things are shaping up and I'm very happy I have him.
Re: 3 Years. Shed And Fed.
He looks great. SDs stay much smaller than my mainland's. Rainbow is 3+ and 12 ft and 50 lbs. Aurora is 2+ and 6.5 ft and 6lbs. Love the his colors and refractions. Good job.

Smaller yes but he isn’t pure SD. Only 37.5 percent. Then he has 43.75 percent dwarf. 18 percent mainland and the tiger gene has been known to produce size.
Honestly I need another person to measure him with me.
Rainbow is much larger and it’s obvious in photos.
Thanks for the kind words.

The way I measure them is squares on tile floor that are 1 foot by 1 foot. Even if they double back you can still measure them and get close enough.

Not happening at our house.
The SD in him does make him busy. Too busy most of the time. I have to have him outdoors because there is just too much for him to get into when he’s inside.
