There's variation with rosys sizes, but there really isn't any way that a 6 month old snake can be 32 inches. A rosy of that size is a large adult. Is that really it's length? Can you measure it?

I've seen big babies that were fed every other day to get them ready for breeding projects, and they still didn't grow nearly that fast.

The other thing to think about is that a rosy born 6 months ago would have to have been born out of season....the vast vast majority of breeders produce rosys in the fall.

Can you maybe post a picture?
