    Talking Growth Spurt!

    She's my only BP, but she measured at 15 inches on the 1st of October, and she is now 19 1/2 inches. Whoo!

    What's the largest growth spurt any of your BPs have had?
    0.1 '09 Normal Ball Python - Sheva
    1.0 Crested Gecko - Sol
    1.0 SHTCTB Leopard Gecko - Paradox
    1.0 Cockatiel - Mo (Mohawk)
    0.1 Peachfaced Lovebird - Bean
    0.2 Mischievous, long-haired cats - Moxxi and Azura
    And 1.0 incredible, loving husband.

    If I could ever get my BP to lay out straight I would have measurements

    I just weigh him, but i've only been doing that recently. It seems he's been packing on the pounds as of late more than usual!

    It's lots of fun to watch them grow isn't it?

    They don't have to lay straight to get measured use a string in the center of their back then stretch the string out and measure.

    Re: Growth Spurt!

    I have also seen mention of a software program you can download that will calculate their length if you take the pic from directly above them. Can anyone identify that particular program?
