    She is a complete sweetheart and I am not complaining. I have a slightly more agressive retic so I dont need any more "fun" giants.

    She was weighed right before we fed her and she eats every other week.

    She eats every other week? Why not weekly(curious)? I feed mine weekly.

    Shes an odd girl. If I feed her every week she will eat for a couple weeks and then go on strike. When I feed her every other week she eats consistantly. She has good body weight and is definately growing so if she wants to eat every other week, Im fine with that.

    Mine will eat whatever I put in the tank, doesn't matter what. Well unless it's my hand then she doesn't try to eat it.

    Re: Weight Curious

    Just weighed my yellow again. She's almost 8 months old, pushing 2 1/2 foot and she weighed in at 324 grams. That's with me feeding her once a week, and also after shes pooped twice.

    Re: Weight Curious

    I should get an updated length/weight/pic of my yellow for you.

    She's 3 years old now, feeding about once every 3 weeks. Last meal was a chicken 2 weeks ago. She's in the 9 foot range, not getting longer lately but putting on the weight.

    Very very tame like you guys have. Lives in an 8x4x2 with a large rubbermaid soaking tub. She likes to digest in there and soak maybe 1/2 of the rest of the time.

    Re: Weight Curious

    Yea, when I first got her she wouldn't eat the hopper, so I had to feed her fuzzys, which I think because of that she got a slow start, which after about 8-9 feedings she finally started taking hoppers, then adult mice. Now i've advanced the feeding a bit with every 6 days and I may step up to every 5 days for a few months.
