    wow! massive growth

    Hey all if you have been reading any of my other posts you know I have a young bp that had been soaking constantly for about 2 weeks. I of course freaked out and went through every Possible reason, he wasn't dehydrated, not a single mite to be found, temps and humidity spot on, Friday I noticed he was rather "lumpy" which further. Concerned me, I had tickets to the kansas nascar race so I went to that Saturday and thought when I got back if he was still lumpy or soaking I would schedule a vet visit. Well Sunday when I got back he had left me a nice perfectly complete shed and no joke had some sort of massive growth spurt of approximately 3mm diameter in my 2 day absence. Keep in mind I check the snake multiple times a day so I'm fairly certain my eyes aren't just playing tricks on me. Along with that, he hasn't been in his water dish once in the last 3 days I've been back. Needless to say I'm very excited and just thought I would share. The Lil bugger has really fattened up in the 2 months I've had him he just got himself a small mouse today as local pet shop only sells rat pinkies frozen. no in between sizes on rats -.-

    Thanks for reading my giddy Lil post lol

    Nice growth! Sounds like you're doing things right and he's coming along well.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
