Size Quetion....

[tman]

At 4.5- 5 months old how long and round should a BP be on average ? I tried to measure my guy tonight and roughly got a measurment of ... 23 inches long and about 3.5 inches round ( midway ). At this age are they considered a juvinile ? Also should I maybe try to start him on small rats? One more ?? he is in a 20 gallon tank , Should I maybe go to a bigger tank ? Any advice would be Great....Thanks!!

You're definitely full of crap or mistaken. 23 inches sounds good, but 3.5 inches would be frikin huge even for an adult.

For a comparison: A soda can is only 2.5 inches thick.

Whoa !! Take it easy bud.....I'm talking about circumference not diameter.......Don't mean to be full of CRAP !!

[SatanicIntention]

I think he meant circumference-wise. So 3.5" really isn't very wide. Maybe a little larger than a quarter around.

I didn't wanna sound rude, lol. Fulla crap, wrong, lying, no good way to put it really.

I assumed you meant thick, sorry.

Other then that, sounds pretty good.

Sounds about right tman. How big was he when you got him? How long have you had him? 04 baby? And .. yea .. as long as the rat is the correct size, go for it. Better to start them young anyway

I've had him now for almost 2 months, he was roughly 17 inches long when I got him, and kinda skinny.

Hey, Godfather, it's all good..... I could have worded it better, yea your right that would be one thick BP...lol
