    Big snake

    Hi guys, i recently brought by first female normal, she is nearly a year and very small. I want to make her be as big and long as possible (soon possibly) is there a way of doing that that dosent involve her getting obese or dying young. Is there an easy way?

    What are you considering very small, how much does she weigh, how long is she? What are you feeding her?

    Yes. Feed her a properly sized meal once a week. You won't get explosive growth, but you will get solid, steady growth and eventually you'll end up with a big girl.
    It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.

    again we don't really know her size, but I would bump up to rats, couldn't tell you what size rat since we don't know your snakes size.

    Depends on her age and what she weighs. You said she's about a year old, but what's her weight (in grams, please)?
