How quickly compared to other snakes have you seen them grow? Obviously it varies animal to animal, but I have heard they grow pretty quickly. Can anyone confirm this?

Every thing I have read says they grow very slow, but that being said the two I picked up yesterday are supossed to be 3 years old and are 7 feet long.

They grow much slower than BP's do that's for sure.

Just for example. I picked one up on nov 8th of 2012 and she weighed 120g. As of last week she is 200g. She is already eating weened rats no problem.

Nice, mine isnt even 100 grams yet lol

She is so tiny, it makes me wander how the heck they get so big being this small!!!

With time, patience, and some food.
