    Just my normal boy!

    Stan has been growing okay since I got him - he was a bit underweight but he's been putting it on.

    Right now he's about 34" and weights about 461grams.

    Here he is:



    and the first belly shot I've gotten of him:




    And I'll sneak in a quick question - at that weight should I be feeding him 40g rat weanlings or 60g small rats?

    Thanks for looking!

    Great looking snake!! I'd give him the 60g rat if he's got a good and reliable feeding response

    Re: Just my normal boy!

    General rule of thumb is 10-15% the snakes body weight, food not larger than the snakes girth. So a 60g small rat should be ok.

    Yea - he's a little monster when it comes to eating - he has never missed a meal. I'll bump him up to the little 60g ratties.
