Growth Chart

[Icatsme]

Hey this is awesome. Thanks for posting this. Since it is quite variable, how do you gauge if your snakes are gaining well? I thought ours was NOT. She had the triangular shape to her body and I was worried about her not taking in enough so we increased her feedings. Is it all just checking body condition?

I check their condition at least once a week when I'm cleaning. I still have a small enough collection they all get personal attention. I like them to feel solid with good muscular body mass. To me, the weight needs to be proportionate with the snake. Some are really slender and long, some are shorter and a look a little on the "husky" side.

Very nice! The one thing I'd like to see is if there's any significant difference in rates between the males and the females. I can't tell from the key which are which.

Here's the chart with the females in red and males in blue. I personally find my females do grow faster, but I have a more females than males. As my data sample gets bigger with more snakes over time, there might be a correlation. I'll keep an eye on that :-)
