    Re: BP growing very slow??

I'm definitely not worried by her appearance at all, she doesn't look malnourished at all.
    I posted before about moving her up a size and was told to keep her on pups. The next size up from the breeder, the weaned rats, are pretty big and I'm not sure she can handle them. Maybe if I get the weaned rats from the Petstore for her... They usually run smaller. I just don't want to push her to the next size until she's ready.

    I want to add!!! I have no idea if she's actually a female. They said they thought she was but they weren't sure. I've just been going with it. I have no idea how to sex a snake and I'd be afraid to hurt her. There aren't any breeders in my small city so I can't get someone else to do it, either.
