Wiggles measured 36.75 inches this quarter.
That's almost 3/4 inch more than last quarter. That's really surprising. Wiggles only grew a half inch in the previous three quarters combined. His last measurement 3 months ago had him just over three feet, but I wasn't sure that I could rely on that. Serpwidgets is pretty accurate, when done correctly, the most accurate way of measuring length that I know, but it's still wise to take a second measurement to be sure. This measurement confirms that Wiggles has definitely passed the three foot mark, and shows that he may have more growing to do. The Complete Children's Python says they can get to over three and a half feet.
I'll try to get an updated weight for him at his next feeding. I tried to record his weight at his last feeding, but the reptilink I offered failed to motivate him to climb onto the scale. At least he ate it. I may try a hopper next time to see if he finds that more motivating.
