Mine is definately a girl...as for the other still at the pet store...I don't know. But, if I could I would go buy her also because they really don't have a clue what they are doing. They were handing the poor thing just HOURS after feeding her and if that wasn't bad enough, it was by a young boy (4 or 5 years old) who was pulling her out of her coils! GRRR! I did educate them as much as I could and they immediately put her back into her tank so hopefully they will take what I said to heart.

After my post I read some of the older posts and feel almost stupid for asking my question since it was asked by others. I now know that 140g gain in 2 - 3 weeks isn't totally out of the norm. I'll be keeping an eye on her to make sure she is pooping as she should.

I figured they were power feeding the poor thing at the shop, but before saying anything I wanted to make sure. These are the same people who were feeding my Foster 1 pinkie every two weeks when I got her. I guess there is no happy medium with these people.

BTW...I had no intentions of feeding Foster every 3 days. In fact, she won't eat any sooner than 7 days. I want her to be healthy and take a healthy time to get to full size! LOL I'm having a hard enough time with her size she is now. I certainly don't want to get to huge any faster!
