well she hasnt evn reached 8 ft yet id be surprised honestly if she was seven and my friend does feed hers three to four large thawed rats per week. i never really saw a need to increase her intake with her weight being absolutely perfect in contrast with the rest of her(no boneyness or being to slender, always full bodied and very muscled but not over weight) and the one large rat(she was eating 2 smalls 7months ago) seems to make what would be considered an appropriate sized lump in her. by no means are we starving these animals. she is an incredibly healthy snake just doesnt seem to be getting any larger. she has steadily grown over the four years ive had her it just hasnt been what most would consider "normal" burm growth rate. i dont want the people on these boards to think im starving ma critter because she is in fact very healthy.
