BP Growth Progression
Thought I'd take a few pictures from then as now. It's crazy how fast my little Lilith is growing and how much girth she has gained. For anyone curious she has been fed appropriately sized meals following the 10% rule once weekly. She went from 10g mice to 40g mice in a short period of time, and based on the "Lump" feeding guide(show a noticeable lump, with a prey item only slightly larger than the widest part of her body, she took her second rat recently that was 84g! That rat weighed heavy for sure lol.
Anyway without further ado, here is the comparison of my little Lilith...
On July 4th, 2013 she weighed 109g:
Today November 12, 2013 she weighs 484g:
Maybe it's totally normal but that seems like some crazy fast growth for not power feeding. In only 4 months she has gained 375 grams!
Anywho, she's growing fast, shedding perfectly every time, and has never turned down food. Aside from making brown on me twice, she has been the epitome of a great BP experience.

Oh wow lol. They say slow and steady is best long term but I don't power feed by any means. I guess genetically this girl just wants to grow big.
