Good luck using glass, unless you live in a really humid area (Florida, Gulf Coast, etc).



I moved my male into his adult home at about 6', seems to do fine. He's highly defensive but he was like that before too. I moved my female into a 6' when she was about 6-7' as well...she's doing fine, is a sweetheart still. I won't know if this'll be her adult cage for a little while yet though, depends on her size.

It took my male...maybe 4-6 months? to get that 5-6' size, my female considerably less. For reference my males like a fall 08 hatchling, my female's a march 09. Both are over probably in the 8-9' range and still little string beans though the male's starting to get a bit thicker looking. Growth was slow during Nov-Jan and started really picking back up in Feb. I'm not 100% sure why given I didn't alter my care much *shrug* Probably the slight drop in ambient temps I guess. It got my colubrids too.



I've had an SD since mid-08 too, but the growth rates are so different...and I just got some mid/late 09s in like last month, but hey, still babies, not even 4'.



Citrus (female) maxed out my 4500 gram scale by January. I'm trying to find a non-super pricey digital scale with a higher max weight so I can weigh her again.
