    Growth spurt

    It's not a BIG difference, but I still can't resist:

    She loves her meals!

    Wait until you switch her to rats!!!! My BP was at 208 grams, then I found a guy who bred rats and I could get her properly sized meals. She went from 208- 570 in a month and a half

    Rats are like steroids for snakes! lol

    That's an impressive spurt! Your snake is stunningly beautiful. I love the high contrast patterns.

    We're hoping our new bp will grow something like that as she is currently only 97 grams!

    208-580 in the 1 1/2 months? Egads! I'm gonna need a bigger tub!

    She's been on rats since her first feed, but they've been fuzzies/pups till recently. Last week she took a 35g weanling with no problem, so I guess we've gone up a weight class

    Thanks for looking, everyone. Sorry the pics didn't show up directly, not sure why.
