    i dont think theres a deffinitive answer to your question, i dont know.
    it all depends on your feeding schedule and what you feed.
    from my experience, your bp will grow faster if its on rats compared to mice. ive also heard that bps of the same age will be larger if fed on rats compared to ones fed on mice.

    you say you have a 2 month year old baby :?: :?:
    i guess its 2 months? what are you feeding it?

    Under a foot? Usually hatchlings are already a foot long or more. My bp was around 18 inches at 2 months old.

    Anyway, there's no definite answer to your question. Like people, all bp's grow at different rates. It depends on genetics, how often you feed, and what you feed it. I'd say as long as you're feeding your bp a mouse or rat 1-1.5 times the thickness of his thickest part, once a week or so, he should grow at a healthy rate. I've had my bp since August 24th and when I got her, she was about 19 inches long, and thick enough to take a small adult mouse. Now she's going on 6 months old, 2 feet long, and the thickness of a banana. Last friday, she ate her first weanling rat with ease. Maybe that can give you a rough estimate of how fast they grow.
