I just got done measuring my female coastal today and it got me wondering how big other peoples carpets are and if anyone has some real monsters out there.
My girl is about four and was grown slowly by her breeder like the rest of his snakes and was around 4 1/5 feet when I got her and weighed 700gs. Today I measured her at 5'3" and 1700g. I know shes behind on a lot of coastals her age but I think thats some pretty good growth for less than a year. Its interesting to see how quickly a snake that was fed every other week to once a month in the winter can up their growth once they are given food on a more regular basis.
Now I know in the wild coastals have been know to get up to 13ft, which is the record I think, but I was curious how big other peoples snakes are and what a good average to expect from my girl. I'd be happy to hear about other monster Morelia too if you have them as I enjoy the entire genus.
