She was not much bigger than a hatchling in when I got her in late January. She was born late July same as my pastel. She is two feet and eight inches so she's the right length but she is underweight. I've always fed her every seven days except for when she broke her jaw in June she didn't eat for two months and here and there when I couldn't get mice maybe two times one was a couple weeks and one was a month but I have a steady supply now. I do not think it is necessary to do a fecal to check for parasites since she has gained 134 grams in four weeks.
