that is actually an older picture. and he is around my wrist, so he was actually only around 11 inches long when that picture was taken. ive always gone by the rule that it should be about as big around as the snakes widest part, or a little more, and a fuzzie just seems huge to me. he is only about as big around as my index finger. he doesnt seem to be getting a lot bigger around, hes mostly getting a lot longer.
