Increased females growth rates?

[Vitto]

I got these two vanilla girls last year. I picked them both because 1) the price was right 2) extremely unique patterns on these girls & 3) I wanted to make vanilla creams.

Well as you know vanillas get better as they shed and age just like fires. Their patterns are wild. Simular to the new trick ball. A member on here described one of my females as reminding her as "ancient Celtic bronze work". Well i have noticed that both these girls are growing faster then any of other ball pythons. Like almost double. I feed often; once maybe twice a week. The same live rats I feed my other snakes, I feed these girls.

They were both born early August, 2011. I just weighed one and she weighs 600+ grams! Her sibling weighed in at 800+ grams!

Is this growth rate faster than what others have seen? Because this is really unique to me.

Thank you for any reply

Wow they are growing fast, I have some of that same age and they aren't even half that weight. I wish my girls were growing like that.

Wow, my August 2011 girl is around 320 grams.

Sounds like good genetics. Mine vary by family line and just individual to individual with some growing faster than others. I have a male pied about the age of your girls that is in that size range but I also have a 2010 chocolate het pied male that is only about 500 grams.

Ya, I thought it was fast. They both just defecated last night. I'll get current pics of their weights.

Btw, they haven't really got any longer than normal, just very heavy bodied.
