The Kaiju thread - CB17 female Pearl Burmese Python

[CALM Pythons]

Thanks, she's a real beauty I've been researching a lot and suggested feeding frequency varies online. Does she look to be growing at a healthy rate? And is it unhealthy to feed once a week up to 1 year old?

First and foremost her health is the most important thing but if she can be big and healthy that's the ideal.

She looks awesome . As far as feeding it isnt unhealthy to feed her every week it is just preference. The thing about Burms is that they grow really fast... Some people rather have them grow a bit slower. When mine were young I fed a lot less (every other week) than todays standards even as a hatchling so it took a couple years to reach 8ft... You can reach that a lot quicker with feeding more frequently. Some also think a slower growth is healthier but I believe that to be more for the smaller Pythons like Balls.
As I'm sure you know a Female can reach 20ft. You can stretch that Growth out for 20 years and still have a healthy snake by feeding a appropriate size EOW and once a adult every 21-30 days.
