actually its the same thing, just another name for them. She will not get any bigger in length but can stand to gain a little weight as she is pretty skinny right now. She is already an adult and a proven breeder. From my research and talking to others that have had these....you just need to handle them and they will calm down. I would say if she didn't bite me the first day while I was trimming her nails and filing them down a bit....Im probably fairly good. But as with anything...there is always a chance of being bitten. As far as her eating habits....she gets a couple of mice a week and the rest of the time she will get scrambled eggs, raw liver and turkey.
I will agree with you on one point though....I probaby won't see much of her in the cage as she tends to burrow and hide in things.
