Thanks so much for the kind and generous comments, y’all! I haven’t weighed him since September which was ~650grams. Probably still <1000grams, but I’m a terrible judge of weight and could be wildly off in my judgments. He was also fasted from 11/1/2020-1/4/2021. All animals here slowed down in activity and shed frequency during that time. Some are only now entering their first shed since.
He’s currently eating small rats every ~2 weeks give or take which leave zero visible evidence of having been fed. I’ll probably order mediums with my next feeder stock up and see what they look like relative to his girth. If he takes a medium and it looks like a huge meal I probably won’t feed him for a month and then back off to smalls for a bit. Time will tell. I’m pretty well beyond the worries of regurge with a sensible feeding at this point
No rush for larger size/breedability and what not to contextualize with my comments in another somewhat contested thread on feeding for breeder growth here...
But if the animals grow at a healthy rate and show signs of being in good health I’ll happily let them do so.
Feast and famine according to their natural histories and individual body conditions.
