    Just an update

    Woo it's summer (well for school anyways)!! My parents were right, it does go by pretty fast, I'll be graduating year after next. Kind of disappointed

    But I'll still have my pets *cough herp-family cough* with me! Dannie has grown so well, at a nice pace I believe. I fed her last Saturday and today she is 506g, and according to the measuring app on serpwidgets.com, she is almost exactly 3 feet now. I'd like to say she's around 5-6 months old considering when I purchased her (January this year; she looked like a hatchling then) but who knows.

    I've been keeping her in a sterilite underbed tote measuring 34.75"x16.5"x6". I think this is a good size tub now; should she be fine with this size from now on (speaking in general terms of BP growth) or will she definitely need bigger?

    Edit: OH, and I meant to add this: she's been feeding on small rats weekly now. I've read that some breeders and owners feed their snakes weekly, but smaller feedings. I had considered doing this and when she starts eating small-mediumish sized rats, could I just stay with that size and feed those weekly?

    On a side note, had a scary dream that my female leopard gecko had eggs last night When I woke up I immediately ran to her tank but everything was fine... I have some weird dreams.

    Thanks I'll have to get her outside for a couple pictures today, the sunlight always makes the colors stand out and it's so nice out.

    I think that's just about the size of my tubs and it's plenty big. If I'm remembering right, my tubs are about 3 feet by 18 inches wide. I'm guessing they are just about the same, if not the very same.

    Oh alright, thanks! I thought it was a pretty good size but wanted to be sure.
