Caesar progression thread.

Lol neither was I and you’ve seen what I ended up with. Better to plan for 10’ and be happy when he ends up 8.5’ instead. At my rate I’m planning for 12’ and hoping to god she slows down soon, as I’m a solo keeper and not a big dude either

I hope he's topping off lol. I'm not planning for a 10+ foot snake haha.

LOL.... I am planning on a 15' and hoping for less than 20'. Seams like Rainbow is making up for lost time. I have had her for 7-8 weeks. She has grown 2 feet and gained 11ish lbs. I want her healthy. I am taking your advice though on upping the size of her prey slowly so she can just eat one and be happy. I am just happy she is mellow. The way you talk about Caesar going nuts with feeding, I am grateful Rainbow seams to be on the calm end of the spectrum of the scale although she did hit the glass as I was heading towards it with a rat last feeding.

Caesar was sawing some serious logs today. He didnt even move when i slid a door open to get a glare free pic/ He is in for a surprise tonight. He is getting his first rabbit.

No idea. the batter in my scale died lol. So i'm winging it. It is what they call a 'small'. Looks about the same size as a 2XL guinea pig or pretty close. Just rabbit is much more dense and leaner meat so I'm going to shoot for a 2 week feed on this one and see how far we get. Caesar has been a good boy and hasnt really pushed much if at all. He is busy at night and will windshield wipe the doors but doesnt really push at the center brace anymore. I usually will open the door at night and give him some petting and attention which after about 2-3 hours of on and off petting with his door open and me watching tv, he either will lay down at the doorway and curl up and sit there or he will go ballistic and try and climb down to explore.

Alright, the rabbit got thawed and the Caesar was out and about. Took him about 5 secs to realize what it was but once he saw it was food, it was all over lol.
Here is the rabbit in comparison to a 16.9 oz water bottle. Thing was about as thick as a coke can or a little more.



And Caesar realizing that it was FOOD!!



I actually expected that rabbit to leave a bigger lump but as you can see by the last pic, it's noticeable but I've seen Caesar eat a LOT larger as a baby.

And on a side note, Gina, Louie and Rango i think need to be upsized from weaned rats to small rats. They are all growing like weeds since being switched to rats.

Yeah, he seemed to like the rabbit...but then again, Caesar has never turned down a meal in over 1.5 years even in shed. Heck he went ballistic 2 hours after i unpacked him and shoved him in a T10 and ate like a champ...never stopped after that haha.

And yeah, i noticed when i switched my snakes over from adult mice to weaned rats and then small rats, they just exploded in growth, then slowed back down again.
